    July 4th Holiday Entertaining

    ByMary Crozier June 26, 2019June 26, 2019

    We are headed to the mountains for the holiday next week. Even though the cabin is comfortable, it doesn’t have all the dishes or entertaining items I have here at Bella Terra. Therefore, I need to plan ahead and determine what I can work with. What’s so nice about mountain life is that it is…

    Reflecting on 2018

    ByMary Crozier December 29, 2018December 30, 2018

    The time between Christmas and the New Year is an interesting one.  I love having less cars on the road, a fluid schedule, and more time with my family. The house is a bit messy but I don’t really care. As this year closes and a new one is ready to begin, it is a…
