I have a bunch of materials in my home that are just waiting for crafting.  Much to my husband’s chagrin I save a lot of things that I think I can recycle or re-purpose.  Time however is something I don’t have as much of as I do materials, lol! 

I had some leftover jute twine from the DIY Texas Wreath I made last month.  I was trying to figure out what to do with it when I spied some empty gravy jars under my sink.

In this 2nd book of the Dragonath Chronicles, Darrak’s magical adventure that began in The Lost Heir takes a gripping twist.

With the aid of Andillrian, Ipzaag, Selantia, and Anarra, Darrak continues his fight to save Earth and Dragonath from the destruction of Halla Magic. But after the appearance of a dragon who could change the tide of war in their favor, Darrak learns that not everyone’s oath to protect him was genuine. Deserted by two of his companions and facing a cunning and powerful army, Darrak realizes the enemy forces no longer answer to their former master.

It’s just a few weeks now until the ‘Big Game.’  I was really into football this year, but since my team suffered a loss yesterday, February 1st is going to be more about the food for me than the actual game .

I personally think Big Game parties are all about grazing.  A little of this, a little of that.  Savory. Salty. Sweet. Crunchy. Chewy.  A combination of all of the aforementioned.

You may have noticed it’s been a little quiet here on the blog this last week.  That’s because it’s been the last week we’ve had our daughter home before we have to send her back to college after Christmas break.  I wanted to soak up as much time as we could together, because as much as I appreciate being able to communicate with her thanks to our Walmart Family Mobile Lowest Priced Unlimited Plans, there is nothing like talking face to face and getting a big hug from her.

I spend a lot of my day with headphones on.  Listening to music while working by day and having them on while I game at night (yes, for those of you who don’t know I have a secret life where I play World of Warcraft for hours on end).  Problem is sometimes I forget I have them on and try and walk away from my computer and ‘YANK,’ I stumble across the floor, or rip the USB plug out or I roll my chair over the cords.  You’d think that after a time or two I’d remember, but sometimes I can be a slow learner.  I have had more pairs of headphones than I care to admit.

Blue Man Group is best known for their wildly popular theatrical shows and concerts which combine comedy, music, and technology to produce a totally unique form of entertainment. The New York Times heralds the show as “One of the most delightful performance pieces ever staged.” E! Entertainment News exclaims, “Blue Man Group is what every live performance aspires to be.” The Baltimore Sun raves, “Blue Man Group packs a wallop. It’s a big, loud, funny, silly, visually arresting production!”

It’s that time of the year when we make New Year’s Resolutions.  A wise person once told me, don’t make any resolutions you can’t keep.  So I decided to make a resolution that I would not eat Sardines this year… Ha!  No but really, now that I’m in my 40s I realize that I need to take better care of myself, especially my heart.

Americans’ love affair with their cars is well documented, along with the dollars they spend each year to keep them running.  This is particularly evident in the winter time when the harsh elements can challenge even the most conscientious car owners.  One thing’s for sure:  Keeping your vehicle in good condition will ensure a safer ride in the short term and a higher resale or trade-in value down the road.

So, before the cold weather takes hold for good, we’ve included the following tips to help you and your vehicles weather just about any storm!

JORD (pronounced Yode which is Swedish for ‘earth, soil & land’) watches don’t just tell time, they are truly works of art.  I know many people (myself included), have stopped wearing watches because of smartphones, but JORD watches aren’t only time pieces they’re fashion accessories (practical ones I might add!).

In this case, the cliché is also true in that “the accessories make the outfit” because ever since I received my JORD watch and started wearing it, people have been stopping me and asking where I got my beautiful watch.
