REVIEW – I love the look of leather jackets. However, where I live in south Texas we have a winter that cannot make up its mind. One day we are in the ’80s, then the next day we have highs in the 40s. The cold snaps often don’t last more than a couple of days

REVIEW – Even though I am smiling in this photo I HATE housework. I would rather be outside in 100-degree heat working in the yard rather than dusting, mopping floors, and cleaning bathrooms.

REVIEW – Even though it is wintertime, we are still getting days up into the upper 80s here in south Texas. I have always been a fan of the nugget ice you can sometimes find in various restaurants. It is super crunchy and easy to chew. It also tends to make a nice almost slushy

REVIEW – This past June we moved into a new house with a little over 1800 square feet of tile. I hate housework. I would rather be outside working in the yard any day before dusting or cleaning the inside of the house. With that much tile, vacuuming and mopping is a real chore. I

REVIEW – Fanny packs used to be all the rage back in the 80s and early 90s. I will even admit to having one or two myself. Lately, I have been seeing the fanny pack make somewhat of a comeback. I personally was still reluctant to even consider one until I saw this Roaring Fire
