Week #36 Welcome to another edition of Weekend Traffic Jam. Look for the link up to go live Thursdays at 9:30pm EDT. Melynda, from Scratch Made Food for Hungry People, and Lisa, from Boondock Ramblings, are joining me for the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot. But, we’d love to have even more co-hosts. If you’re interested, please comment …
A few years ago, we started a new family tradition. If you’ve been reading the blog for any time, you know I love Newfields and the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Several years ago, Winterlights was added as a holiday must-do. And, we have loved going with the entire family for most of those years. This …
I know the holiday season started last week, but I’m a bit of a slow starter here at Haus der Mitte. I did pack away almost all of the pumpkins. They have to be lugged up to the attic. Last year, when we put Christmas decor away, I relied on my sons to help. And, …
The weather has changed quite a bit since last month! We’ve had several heavy frosts and even a few snowflakes. The leaves are all gone from the trees in our yard and from most of the trees around us. It’s hard to believe Thanksgiving has come and gone here in the States. I did quite …

In February, I joined the fabulous women from Is This Mutton, MK’s Adventures in Style, Deb’s World, Grownup Glamour, and Frugal Fashion Shopper for a global writing challenge. Later this year, Suzy from The Grey Brunette, Sue from Living Well after 50, Leslie from Once Upon a Time, Happily Ever After and I joined in on the fun permanently! Gail came up with this month’s …
My front porch is a little bit like the weather here in Central Indiana. There’s a spring wreath hanging on the wall, and a fall garland adorning the bench! We’ve been having really warm days with cool nights. In fact, this past Wednesday, we may have set a record. Luckily for me, the nights are …
