Last week I hosted a Ladies Fondue Party. It was informal, simple and fun, fun, fun.
Nothing says simple like inviting guests over to dinner and asking them to cook their own food….my kind of entertaining! :)
My friend Sandy over at Reluctant Entertainer has been such an inspiration to me over the last couple of years. [...]
So many thoughts swirling around this big head of mine so I thought I’d just go hog wild and do some brain dumping right here on the blog. You know, with people that can’t walk away from me when I’m talking. Okay well technically you can but I can’t see you so I’ll think you’re [...]

Yesterday, along with 500 other families, we were dealt the devastating news that as of the end of January my husband will be without work. We live in a very small community so news of this magnitude will be felt by the entire town. It is so hard to comprehend. [...]

I adore the blog, Home Sanctuary and so of course when Rachel Anne announced she would be putting together a Company Girl gift book featuring a selection of photos about girlfriends, I immediately knew I wanted to be part of it. Rachel Anne made a call out for photo submissions and I knew just the [...]
I’m so excited to announce the new gig I’ve got going on for one of BlogHer’s new groups called The Juice.
The Juice, sponsored by Tropicana, is a place to hang out sharing stories and tips for managing all those areas in our lives that we often struggle with whether it’s fitness, nutrition, organization, priorities, relationships [...]
I made a pie. From scratch. For the first time. And it turned out. I still can’t get over it.
The best part of last week’s cooking disaster is knowing that it just can’t get any worse than that. Which is comforting to me actually, knowing that I could try making anything now and not have [...]
I'm glad you found me. I'm Laura, the resident
"freak" with a crazy passion for organizing!
