In-Between Holidays: New Door Decor

Do-it-Myselfers and other friends, welcome! Today I am sharing an in-between-the-holidays door decor I created this week. I still have snowmen decorating the kitchen above my cabinets and snowflakes on the mantle. But truth is, we have had an extremely warm winter. It is a wonder my fake snowflakes and snowmen haven’t melted. I kept […]

Happy Monday, 10 superstitions, wives' tales and f Happy Monday, 10 superstitions, wives' tales and family expressions...that's the prompt for October's 10 on the 10th blog post.  I grew up on a healthy diet of my mom's Ozark Mountains colloquialisms and could probably, should probably dedicate a post just to those.  Never realized until I went to college how much of my own speech reflected hers.
