One of my least favorite things to do is to make dinner. It’s not that I don’t enjoy cooking. It’s that my husband can’t ever give me a straight answer about what he wants for dinner. I get a lot of “I don’t know.” and “I’m not hungry yet.” It’s hard to make dinner when…

Read MoreThrift Find!
I love stopping by the local thrift stores, antique malls, and flea markets. I really enjoy the prospect of going into a place and finding that one thing (or 12) that I didn’t know I needed. Yesterday, I stopped by the “Vendor’s Village.” It’s in the old 3D, on West Broadway in Princeton, and advertises…
