Ode to My Latest Amazon Finds

February 4, 2025 By Tamera Alexander

I got so tickled at Angie's post yesterday when she wrote about her velveteen pants from Amazon. If you didn't read her Ode to My Stretchy Velveteen Pants, please do! It'll make you smile. Now to continue the Amazon thread... While I don't own a pair of stretchy Velveteen Pants—yet!—I do have some favorite Amazon items I've ordered (and reordered) recently. #1 Do we have any candle … [Read more...]

A trip with the grands to the pumpkin patch

November 19, 2024 By Tamera Alexander

The 3FarmGals (the name of the text thread that includes my daughter, my daughter-in-law, and me—story on that name below) took my two sweet grands to the pumpkin patch recently, and my daughter Kelsey made a quick video...

Are you a recipe fanatic?

September 3, 2024 By Tamera Alexander

Scrolling through recipe videos, watching cooking shows, and even reading cookbooks is a favorite past time. I especially love revisiting my Mom's cookbooks with all her markings and notations. Talk about a treasure. I made Mom's banana pudding yesterday for Labor Day, which—I discovered while searching through recipes—is almost identical to Ina Garten's, aka The Barefoot Contessa. How on earth … [Read more...]

Snapshots of recent life

August 20, 2024 By Tamera Alexander

First, new covers for an older series... I'm reissuing this three-book series (originally released 2008-2010) and am thrilled that they're getting new covers. Our own Deb Raney's husband Ken (Raney Day Creative), who is a fabulous designer and collaborator, is designing these covers for me. The man has the patience of Job—at least in his emails.
