Ivy says: Watch out, world! Ivy’s back! I’m sure you’ve been wondering where I’ve been. Well, between dealing with several family emergency-type things, trying to pull myself out of the very serious depression I’d been in for over a year and a half, and starting a new project, I was completely harried and needed some …
Ivy says: My good pal Hutchmo wrote a post on Facebook that had me rolling in the aisles. I got his permission to post this here. It gives you very good perspective into what our husbands (or wives, in some cases) may be thinking when they wad a sheet into the linen closet! Here’s a …
Retro Saturdays give Heather and Ivy a chance to spend time with their family. It also gives new readers a peek into the Home Ec 101 archives. Sit back and enjoy this blast from the Home-Ec 101 past. Dear Home-Ec 101, I use way too many paper towels and kitchen wipes. Part of the problem is that …

Ivy says: As I was laying down to go to sleep last night, the dog in the house behind me decided to start barking. And he barked. And he barked. And he barked some more, for good measure. This happens just about every night, but with the cooler weather, it is worse for everyone that …
Ivy says: I’m not much on sermonizing. I’m of the opinion that talking about religion is best done on a one-on-one basis. However, I felt compelled to write this post. If you don’t want to hear about religion, please skip this post. Lately, both Heather and I have been down and troubled. Don’t worry- for …
Ivy says: I’ve been wanting to touch on this for awhile, but have been unsure of how to bring it up. It’s a multi-faceted discussion, so this post might get long. Or, it might not, since I’m the queen of conciseness. Sort of. Anyway, one of the things people say to me when they first …
Ivy says: Heather had her baby today at 5:29 PM Eastern time. It’s a GIRL! She weighed 8 pounds, 5 ounces, and her name is Elizabeth Suzanne. Everybody welcome her to the world, we’re sure excited she’s here. (And Heather’s sure excited to not be pregnant anymore, I bet, ha!)
