Like potatoes?

If you like mashed potatoes or potato salad, then this tip is for you. My friend, Kim A., sent me this video link showing MaryAnne, from Gilligan's Island, peeling potatoes without using a peeler. I just tried it with a sweet potato and it worked great!

Watch the YouTube video and learn the trick ~

peace & relaxation?

If you could benefit from a quick trip to relaxation, how about reaching for an aromatherapy spritzer?

Pictured you will see the "peace & clarity" section of my desk where I keep my living plant, candles, mini-fountain and aromatherapy. With these little items in my work area, I feel nurtured as I sit in front of my computer.

To go along with the theme of peace & relaxation, here is a quote that I have shared with you before.

Peace
It does not mean to be in a place
where there is no noise, trouble or hard work.
It means to be in the midst of those things
and still be calm in your heart.



* to order some of the Aromatherapy that I use, you can call Lorri Marie directly: 623-936-6686.

Road Trip to Bisbee

If you are hoping for a romantic weekend or a family adventure (are both possible?), Bisbee is a fun place to go. The town offers art, trinkets and good food with hardly a chain in sight. There are rumors of ghosts, a colorful history, great architecture and the Queen Mine is open for tours hosted by former miners.

This was our family's first memory making trip of 2010 and Grandma & Grandpa joined us, too. All of us found something of interest in Bisbee ... will Bisbee be listed on your "fun calendar" in 2010?

***************

Bisbee sleeps in a little so if you are early risers in need of a muffin & morning beverages, visit The Bisbee Coffee Company anytime after 6:30am

If you want to visit the Queen Mine, reservations in advance are recommended

The Copper Queen Hotel now has an Italian restaurant that replaced Winchester's. If you eat there, be sure to read the kids' menu and see if anyone in your group can lick your elbow - can you?!
