Five Steps to Manifesting Your Dreams
The way your mind affects your body is a remarkable subject. The proof of mind over matter cannot be dismissed. If you spend most of your time thinking about something, you are already on your way to manifesting your dreams! Acknowledging your thoughts is so imperative. Thoughts are things. But thoughts are a stepping stone to greater things. Thoughts keep the mind moving, but your actions move you to living the life you’re meant to live. Think of something that is constantl
Slipcovers, I just can't get enough of them!
I am madly in love with slipcovers, white ones specifically. They make what's old new again and they can give a fresh new look to any room. If you are talented enough to make them yourself, there are many books and YouTube videos to assist you. If you are lucky enough to have a mom who quilts, sews and can whip you up a slipcover then that's even better. However, if those two options don't work for you, try asking a local fabric store if they make custom slipcovers or know
Summertime Sun Salutation

So my aunt, mother and I have decided to collaborate on a Wellness Weekend in New Fairfield, CT. We are still nar
Patriotic Pancakes!
My all time favorite pancake recipe from a cute little breakfast book called Pancake and Waffles by Lou Seibert Pappas. To make them patriotic I add some blueberries and garnish with strawberries. It's a great summer breakfast and fun to make on a beautiful Sunday, as it was today. You make them from scratch so no box mixture here! Scroll through the pictures and you will find the recipe at the end. Bon Appetit! And Happy Fourth of July! My kitchen, the heart of this home an
Flying Old Glory
There are many ways to fly the flag. I always hang my flag vertically in front of my door. A flag hung vertically, like the picture shown below, needs to show the stars (the union) to the flag's right which would be the observer's left. If you want to be sure you are flying Old Glory correctly click on the picture above. This 4th will be a quiet one for me as I am taking a much needed respite from all the things I do, which are way too many to list here. I'm just going to rel
