Home & Garden

Anything about home & garden will show up here. This may include my DIY projects (including the bad), recipes I’ve tried and maybe even a little container gardening. All of these things (and many more) will show up here.

This section is devoted to the things that make me stop and go, “awwwww” or “ohhhhh”.

Gizmos & Gadgets

I find great joy in discovering items that I haven’t seen before. I find even greater joy in discovering items that will make my life easier. This area is for all of those little discoveries.

From My Perspective

Periodically those I devote a majority of my time to (a/k/a “my family and friends”) will do things I feel I need to share or document. This is where those stories will land. My skateboarding bulldog will also frequent this area.

Causes

There are two causes that are particularly close to my heart. This is where I”ll share information and stories about them. I’m sure over time other causes will be addressed here as well because afterall it’s just cool to do that.
