Swimsuit Season: Our Favorite One Piece Swimsuits

I've always prefered bikinis.  Mainly because it's always been hard for me to find one-pieces that fit properly.  I'm 5'11, so yeah, I'm on the taller side.   Most one piece swimsuits tend to run short.  This makes it especially hard to find one that fits if you have a longer…

Great Northern Bean Soup

One of my favorite dishes to make whenever I have a leftover hambone is Great Northern Bean Soup.  I only make ham for my family a couple times a year, but everytime that I do, I save the hambone to make this soup.  I almost look more forward to the…

Matching Holiday Pajamas for 2021

It's never too early to start thinking about your matching holiday pajamas.  I learned my lesson a few years ago when I waited until the last minute to find our seasonal pajamas. As a result, I ended up having to choose from whatever wasn't sold out.  It was slim pickings. …
