I have always dreamt of having my own business. I knew that if I tried hard enough I would eventually be able to accomplish it. Well, I have almost made it. I am up and running, although not at full speed quite yet. I am still trying to work everything out. My business is selling homemade candles. I use these adorable hexagon shaped wholesale jars that I was able to find. They come in a couple different sizes. They are just perfect. I hope to carry candles in different styles and sizes as soon as I am better established. I am on the right track though!

Is a wine club right for you or a loved one?  I think it’d be a pretty big hit in my family.  They’re all pretty big wine lovers and many of them make their own wine.  Personally, I don’t get too into the making wine only out of grapes.  I’m much more intrigued with making wine out of other fruits as they’re far less common and I enjoy a good sweet wine so I figure why not.  For example, one of my favorite wines of all time was an apple wine.  It was just a little sweeter than a chardonnay and it was amazing.  I’m really thinking that watermelon wine sounds intriguing too if only I could find a recipe for it. 

We have two homes. One is the main one and the other is our little get away vacation home. We love spending our summers there. The thought of spending anytime getting the cabin ready for our use just doesn’t appeal to me. Good thing it isn’t that far from the city. Not only does our local Vancouver cleaning company have me on their list for once a week for our main home, but also once a year at our wonderful vacation place. As soon as we walk in all we have to do is unpack and then we are ready to enjoy our home away from home.

Just about any well designed Tuscan kitchen would be incomplete without these.•    Ceramics and terracotta dishware and pottery. The display of these creates the right Tuscan atmosphere.•    Glass bottles and jars filled with citrus fruits, spices, peppers dipped in vinegar or olive oils.

You get the divine smell of the herbs right when you are cooking in the Tuscan kitchens.•    Accessories like wrought iron candle sticks, wall sconces, brass and gold ornaments, door knobs etc are also a visual delight.

My husband came from home from work the other day raving about a catered event that his company had sent him to. It seems that the north jersey catering company Simply Delicious Catering had provided the event with excellent food and he had enjoyed some favorite dishes that he hadn’t had in years. “I wish you had their recipe for Tortellini Alfredo”, he said. “It tasted just like Grandma used to make when I was a little boy.” He said that everyone was enjoying the food so much they stayed long after it was time to go home. I think for our next family event I’m going to give Simply Delicious Catering a call!

Last night I tried something new for the first time. I actually went onto my desk top computer and bought my week’s groceries at an online discount grocery store site. It was so quick and so simple. I just went down through my list and checked off the necessary items. I also picked up a few specials that I hadn’t thought of. The store will keep a record of my regular purchases and create a check-off list that will save me even more time in the future. I love shopping this way because I don’t have to deal with rude customers around me or grumpy cashiers at the check-out. This really works.

Less time grocery shopping, less time driving to and from the grocery store, and less time carrying and putting away means more time for the things you want to do in life. 

You also don’t have to worry about whether the store is still open or dealing with inclement weather (nothing like loading groceries into the car in a downpour!)

You can lay in bed with your laptop, shop the specials, create a shopping list, and buy everything you need and not even have to put on your robe or slippers, let alone get dressed and drive. 

If you are rushed for time (and who isn’t) its far easier to find a few minutes for online grocery shopping than the hour it will take to get to go to the store.

This could be a good and useful way to kill time.

I love to go to old stores and look around. The old stuff like the counters and shelves are so interesting. I am extra excited if I can see working water coolers. They are so rustic, and they bring back so many memories for me and my family. We used to go to the store, and then take turns, youngest to oldest, drinking at the fountain. We didn’t have a refrigerator, so the cool water was magic to all of us kids. We wold beg to get the first drink, even though we knew that you had to line up that same way every time.
