Last summer, I posted on Facebook that my family was looking for a family friendly vacation spot within a one day drive from Kansas City.

Too Old For Foo-Foo? {Recipe: Lemon Grass Strawberry Daiquiri}
I always feel a bit self conscious drinking Strawberry Daiquiris. Do you? I don’t really know why I feel that way, but I do. Perhaps it’s because my very first ever alcoholic drink was a Strawberry Daiquiri. I’ve always felt like it was the “safe” “foo-foo” drink… and at my old age I thought if…
Celebrating the Friday Cocktail {Recipe: Friday Night Coffee}
Ahhhh… Friday nights. This past Friday night I was in my PJ’s and in bed by 7pm. In fact, I had called a friend and left a voicemail at 5 to see if she wanted to come over for a glass of wine. I didn’t hear from her until 6:30 – and she was all…
Project 365 2012 – July through Now

Recipe: Kahlua Peppermint Mocha Hot Chocolate
Kahlua Peppermint Mocha Hot Chocolate is the best kind of beverage to enjoy on a chilly day! As much as I don’t enjoy winter, I do have to say I love hot, cozy beverages. You can’t really truly enjoy a hot chocolate in the middle of the summer, unless you try a frozen hot chocolate,…
The Happiness Report #6
It seems kind of wrong to be posting about happiness today. The tragedy and devastation going on in Japan is so sad. I’ve found it hard to tear myself away from the news and worrying about those people still searching for their loved ones. I can’t even fathom what they are going through, and I…
Holiday Cocktail Hour {Recipe: Godiva Chocolate Martini}
The other day, my girlfriends and I were sitting around, comparing December calendars trying to figure out a good time we could celebrate the holidays together. As each of us dissected our individual calendars and started sharing dates we had available, it became very clear that December was a crazy busy month for all of…

My friend Kathy and I were making…
