Heather says: I am raw, grief stricken, and barely functional right now. Please bear with disjointed thoughts and truly awful [worse than usual] grammar. I need to get this out before I have to step back into the everyday. I needed to share the story before the details become muddled by time. Thursday morning I …
Heather says: So routines are about to happen. Not just routines but morning to bed, no room for error every minute packed until Thursday drop off, routine. I’ll make it, I’m just trying to figure out how. What I’d like from you, is ideas for food suitable for healthy picnic dinners. Why? I have to …
Michele says: Now that we’ve completed our first sewing project, it’s almost time to move on to the next big step in sewing: the sewing machine. Before we do, though, we’re going to get back to the most basic of basics and learn how to reattach a button in under five minutes. But what do …
Heather says: I’m currently sitting in a hotel room in Virginia Beach, VA. This trip wasn’t for fun. You see, life changes in seconds, one moment you’re lost in your own thoughts contemplating personal, life changing decisions and the next you’re racing to comfort family.

*plus an unrelated note from Heather at the end* Bobbie says: “So, is it cold enough for ya?” I don’t think I’ve made it through a winter in my entire life without hearing this lamest of questions at least once. I just smile and nod at the crazy person as I move along. “Cold enough” implies that …
Heather says 2012 is rapidly winding down, and in all honesty 2012 probably won’t go down as my favorite year ever. I’m looking to 2013 for a fresh, new start. Are you? I want to create a community of encouragement around here and I’d like your help on brainstorming ways to meet that goal. How …
Heather says: I have a summer rule, as soon as the water is warm enough, I take the minions to the beach at least once a week. Not everyone is lucky enough to live near the ocean, we are privileged to live here, and it would be silly to not take advantage. Often while there, …
Heather says Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite time of the year. It’s no secret that I love food and I love to cook for others and Thanksgiving Dinner is the Superbowl of company dinners. It’s a chance to gather with friends and family and indulge in the traditional and the exceptional. Are you planning on …
Heather says: It’s Labor Day and to celebrate, I’m taking a day off from even pretending to proofread. I promised I’d announce the winner of the Tupperware Healthy Lunch Solution Set and I won’t let you down. Well, unless you didn’t win and then you’ll probably hate me and Home-Ec101.com and never come back again. …
