Need Summer Entertaining Ideas? My New Book on Kindle

summer entertaining

Summer is finally starting to hint that it may consider showing up this year. We are still having weirdly cold days (Texas cold = less than 70 degrees) but the afternoons have started to release that baking heat that some of us love so much.

I love having a houseful of people. Even when I didn’t have much money at all there always seemed to be a way to at least have a cookout or a people over for dessert – or something.

All of that came together to create the biggest stress load that I have had in years.

On the upside I lost the last ten pounds that I wanted to lose. I still plan to lose a bit more but I am at a healthy weight and I can wear a bikini this summer if I want. It’s just that  being sick and stressed is not the optimum way to lose weight! Continue reading
