    10 Tips to Stay Healthy

    ByMary Crozier September 30, 2025September 30, 2025

    Fortunately, I’m not someone who often comes down with the usual winter illnesses. In fact, over the past 24 years, I can only recall being really sick with a cold or flu twice. I believe that living a healthy lifestyle should become more of a priority as we age—and part of that means being proactive…

    Saturday Meanderings

    Big Style in a Small Space: Our Cabin Bathroom Wallpaper Makeover

    ByMary Crozier August 12, 2025August 13, 2025

    Remember those wallpaper rolls I shared a peek of a few weeks ago? Well, it’s time to reveal where they ended up! Our tiny cabin bathroom — once drenched in a bold, deep red — has traded drama for calm with a fresh neutral-and-sage pattern. The difference is night and day, and I can’t wait…

    Saturday Meanderings

    ByMary Crozier August 2, 2025August 2, 2025

    Happy August! We are back in Phoenix for 8 days to attend a wedding, doctor’s appointments and a zoning hearing. When I left Pinetop it was a glorious 60 degrees and as I am writing this, it is 101 degrees in the Valley of the Sun. Thank you so much for joining me for my…
