    Waking up to perfect coffee that’s ready to drink is pretty much the best way to start any day. Now you need not be a barista to be able to make the perfect pot of coffee. Great coffee at home on demand is the name of the game with the Breville Precision Brewer Thermal. There are a few things I am constantly striving to perfect here in my home. One is meatloaf.

    Star Wars Word Search Printable For Kids

    April 15, 2018 - By 

    It’s been awhile since a really good Star Wars movie came out. And I know that there are still many little and big Star Wars fans out there. So, in advance of May the Fourth this year I decided to share this original Star Wars Word Search with you. I know you sometimes geek out over Star Wars products and merchandise. So I thought you might love this too. I think this particular word search is a bit challenging. It has several of the characters and vehicles in it. But challenges are good, as I always tell my kids. So good…

    Where to Stay Near Bromley Mountain

    April 10, 2018 - By 

    Wondering where to stay near Bromley Mountain this season or next? Earlier this year I started hunting around for places to visit in Vermont during ski season.

    How to Delete Facebook Accounts

    April 5, 2018 - By 

    Delete Facebook? Are you ready to get rid of Facebook? I’m not deleting any of my accounts, and I am not advocating this approach for clients. BUT, many people are considering dropping Facebook after the Cambridge Analytics scandal. You can always deactivate your account if you just need a break.

But what if you’re ready to cut all the ties for good? What if security and privacy concerns…
