Sweet sweet E, that child does nothing but elicit smiles, squeally voices and happy dances from me. Ah, grandkiddos! About every six months I find myself updating what I’ve learned from that whippersnapper.  About every six months I ask myself, too soon?  Maybe I should just do a yearly update…BUT I CAN’T!  Having an itty-bitty …

More cobbler, y’all! First there was this one, made with blueberries and strawberries. Today, there is peach…PEACH COBBLER! Nommy nom nom. Before we get started, I did use fresh peaches in this cobbler, unlike last time when I used frozen blueberries and strawberries.

Do you guys remember my Epsom Salt post and my quest to find a natural way to replenish my waning magnesium levels?  If so, you’ll fully appreciate why I am loving the Himalayan Pink salt! Himalayan Pink salt is packed with the good stuff.  Table salt, not so much. Himalayan salt contains the minerals that …

OMT loves her coffee almost as much as she enjoys talking about herself in third person. SO MUCH! Today, I’m gonna share one of the easiest and most inexpensive ways to enjoy a customized coffee blend without feeling like it’s a luxury you should give up. In the past, as a coffee lover, I have …

If you’ve read here long enough, you know I swipe herbs from my neighbors. Why grow herbs, when you can steal ’em. ~pulling on ski mask and creeping into their yard at midnight with a flashlight~ Not really, come on now. I’m a Choochie for goodness sakes. I have an example to set. Most of …
