TO DO!

I am a HUGE fan of making lists! The sense of crossing things off and figuring out how to get things on the list completed, really gets me going! In the past, the family used Wunderlist to accomplish anything from birthday lists to market lists, from wish lists to mall lists, school lists, and more... Wunderlist has wrapped-up and move to Microsoft "To Do." I'm loving this app as it has all the features that Wunderlist had and more. My…

Setting the Table!

The second thing I taught my kiddos, right after we learned ‘magic words,’ was how to set the table.

I’m not a blogger, I’m an opinion leader! (Says Mrs. Gavidor!)

Hello to all that know me! For those who do not, I am Mrs. Parker. I'm a fifty-something hotshot from sunny California, and I specialize in etiquette. Yes, manners. Everything from handshakes to houseguests, I'm your lady! Over the past few years, as with any business, I've had to update, refresh, diagnose, and prescribe little changes and tweaks to stay current. I think I have come up with a basic formula (that I can add to!) to help carry me…

Thread Count and Linens

Hello Charmers! When choosing bedding, I am ALWAYS going with white. Crazy, right? The maintenance, the upkeep, the “trying to be careful,” all reasons to deter one from investing in an all-white look.
