    The Meal Planner that Brings Me Joy

    The Reluctant Housewife Blogs (Post #1) – Meal planning, the weekly chore that I dislike oh so much! Meal planning is an agony for me! I live to eat, but my family members eat to live. They claim they aren’t picky about what appears on the table. Toast every...

    Tuscany Has My Heart

    Cold, wintry weather has me dreaming of my summer days in Tuscany. It has always been a dream of mine to spend some time in Tuscany, Italy, and 2023 was the year we finally made it. The rolling hills, gorgeous landscapes and hilltop villages of Tuscany were all the...

  • Back on My Yoga Mat

    I’m writing this article as a practitioner and not a teacher and it has been a long time coming. Not because I haven’t wanted to put pen to paper. In fact, I’ve started a few times but didn’t finish. Life has simply gotten in the way. Since moving to...

    DDS in NYC – A Trip Out to Woodbury Common

    What do you do on your first day in New York City (NYC)? Shop of course! Okay, really we had an excuse. We had flown into NYC on Sunday during the day and had to stay awake until bedtime so we spent the rest of the day walking and walking and walking....

    DDS Goes to New York City (NYC)!

    Last year Misses 12 and 10 (then 11 and 9) went on a school ski trip to Courmayeur, Italy. It was an 8-day trip so they were away from home for eight days, EIGHT days, that’s VIII days. BOTH of them together. This means NO KIDS for EIGHT whole days....
