I love hula hooping. I always have. Back in the ‘70s, I was a hooping fool. Hula hoops could be found going around on my neck, arms, stomach, and ankles. Sometimes several of those spots had hula hoops going simultaneously. Fast forward to present day (ok, more like 5 or so years ago), my friend,… Continue reading Hooping Fool Love
Fall in Love with Backyard Chickens
I love keeping chickens in our backyard. The fresh eggs they provide, eating our kitchen scraps, and giving us great material for our compost bins can’t be beat. Chickens are very funny creatures and can be quite amusing. During the summer, we like to sit in the backyard and watch our chickens. If you were… Continue reading Fall in Love with Backyard Chickens

Home Exchange Love
I love to travel and see the world but travel can be an expensive indulgence. Eating out, hotels, and rental cars can all really add up. Now, the first thing we do when the travel bug hits is start searching our favorite home exchange service website. It wasn’t always like this. Years ago, I worked… Continue reading Home Exchange Love
Yes, I Love Chairs
They say the first step in acknowledging you have a problem is admitting it. Well, I have a problem with chairs. You could call it a chair obsession if you wanted to. I like to think of them as my entertainment. So I love chairs – what’s the big deal? They’re free, on the sidewalk,… Continue reading Yes, I Love Chairs
Super Bowl Sunday Love
This is not about football, even though it is about Super Bowl Sunday. I love Super Bowl Sunday because I love my dining room rug. If you’re wondering how these could possibly be related, they are. The bidding on my dining room rug, which I purchased used from eBay, ended on Super Bowl Sunday. If… Continue reading Super Bowl Sunday Love
Homemade Granola Love
I love granola and especially this "no stir while you’re baking it in the oven" granola. For breakfast, as a snack, with yogurt or with ice cream - it’s all good. It’s really tasty with a smoothie poured over it in a bowl or with fresh fruit sprinkled on top. The best part is, I’ve… Continue reading Homemade Granola Love

Cloth Napkin Love
Oh, how I love cloth napkins. Double layer, cloth napkins made with cotton fabric, thank you very much. I’m sure you’re wondering why the double layer. Well, they absorb what you’re wiping up (or is it wiping off?) much better than single layer napkins. Cotton fabric, because it’s so much more absorbent than polyester. Yes,… Continue reading Cloth Napkin Love
