Last month I entered my video for Castaway Hearts in a Video Trailer contest on

20 Trailers a month will be featured. Voting will begin on the 21st and run through the 26th.

Taryn Raye's The Way to a Man's Heart- Stroganoff

  The Way to a Man's ♥ Taryn's Stroganoff
A while back, I got the notion that making beef stroganoff couldn't possibly be that hard and would probably taste better homemade than out of one of the quick dinner boxes or one of those "helper" meals- so I decided to try it myself. This is, of course, another favorite of my husband's and my kids.

Ingredients:
1- 1 1/2 pounds round steak, cubed
1 small onion, diced
1 package of fresh mushrooms, sliced (Your choice)
1 (13-3/4 oz) Can of Beef Broth
salt,...

November 1st- NaNoWriMo Begins- Essentials

One of the essentials I've always had on hand during NaNo is snacky things, especially AFTER I quit smoking 3 years ago. Usually it was gum, mini candy bars, especially Reeses cups and chocolate in most any other form, etc. I mean, really, the day after Trick-or-Treat- who doesn't have some candy just lying about all over the house? I have kids and even if they hide it, I'm like a bloodhound, with a nose for the sweets. I can sniff it out, Sherlock Holmes style.

This time around though, I thou...

Boo! Happy Halloween!

To all those with children who'll be out tonight trick-or-treating, please remember to dress in bright colors or use those glow sticks and necklaces, flashlights, reflective garments, etc. Keep those babies safe and sound and if it's going to be a cold one where you live, be sure to dress warmly! Don't forget to brush after all the sweets and have fun!

For those who might partake of mid-week Halloweenie parties- be safe, have a designated driver if there's drinking involved and watch out for t...

SCENTsational Saturdays- Favorite 10- Body Fantasies Vanilla

A very soft and sweet vanilla, this body spray calls me home and makes me feel warm and safe. I'm not sure why, but vanilla tones in perfumes make me think of fairy tales and knights on white horses. Perhaps it's the simplistic natural aroma of vanilla that harkens back to homemade cookies and childhood.

I lures me with memories of holidays spent with my family. Of warming my hands next to the fire and the sharp aroma of wood smoke spiraling from a chimney on a cold winter day. It's a scented...
