I have favorite authors, both men and women, but since it’s Women’s History Month, I’ll share my reviews of the 30 books I’ve read that were written by Ruth Rendell.
Recipe: Chicken Tortilla Soup
I’ve been making chicken tortilla soup for years and this is my favorite recipe for it! Depending on the size of your family, you will probably have enough leftover soup to freeze. It freezes well and tastes even better the second time around!
Challenge: Organize, Clean, Declutter the Laundry Room!
Organizing Challenge: Washer, Dryer, Laundry Room and make it pretty, too! Having a laundry room located near the bedrooms seems like an ideal location.
