Good Neighbors and Zucchini Quiche

Good Neighbors and Zucchini Quiche

I have good neighbors.  Not many houses come up for sale in my neighborhood and I’m sure one of the reasons why is that we are indeed a neighborly group.  Early on in the pandemic, I ran out of hand soap and when I couldn’t find ANY to order from my local grocery deliveries,  my […]

Dessert Craze What’s the next big dessert craze going to be?  Anyone have any thoughts on this deep subject?  I’ve lived through my share of fad foods and I’m eagerly awaiting the next.  We’ve had cake pops, cookie store cookies, crazy cupcakes, and drip cakes.  This new fad of scraping the frosting off the sides […]

Zoom and Lemon Bars

Missed You!  Welcome back!  I’ve missed chronicling my life through Frankly Southern and letting my long-distance friends see what I’m up to, so with the help of my two amazing, internet-savvy friends (and my own techy spawn), I was able to get my site restored.  There are still some old posts that have not been transferred […]

Halloween Decorations

Halloween Decorations 2017

I had already decided I wasn’t going to decorate for Halloween when Olivia came home this past weekend.  Neither child (although they are not children anymore) was going to be home on Halloween and I didn’t want to get out all the boxes of decorations just to decorate for myself.  Then, Olivia decided she wanted […]

Punch Needle Fail

I have been trying to learn a new craft for the last few days but I have ended in punch needle fail.  I carefully took pictures of my steps because I was sure I would be posting a zippy little story about my adorable punch needle creations.  This will not be the case as I […]

Fabric Lunch Bags for On the Go

As a teacher of five different grade levels, I take at least six field trips each school year with students and I have to take a sack lunch every time.  With all the recycling nowadays and everyone going green, there is a lot of pressure to have a trash-free lunch. (I thoroughly enjoy having eight-year-olds […]
