Thought of the Day
I like free catalogs. I like to browse through the pages and think about how neat it would be to have that throw blanket in my living room, or that cutlery set in my kitchen. I rarely buy anything from the catalogs I flip through, but it's fun to imagine.
Catalog shopping is the ultimate window shopping, considering you don't even have to leave your couch! If you have restraint, it's frugal, too. :)
Enjoy this selection of free catalogs, and happy browsing!

Pie! With the holidays around the corner, and fall firmly in place, thoughts of hot, freshly baked pies cooling on the kitchen counter fill my head on a daily basis . Who wouldn't want a fresh piece of apple or blueberry pie smothered in vanilla ice cream or whipped cream? Mmmmm.
Many people are intimidated by the thought of making their own pie crust, but nothing on he market comes close to a really good homemade crust. Is your crust tough? Or crumbly? These tips will help you get that tender flaky crust each and every time you make your family's favorite pies:
- Think cold! Everything associated with making your crust should be kept as cold as possible up until the time you use it. The bowl, your pastry cutter, everything that can be chilled, should be chilled. Warm dough gets sticky. Sticky dough requires more flour. More flour means a tough crust. Be sure to refrigerate your crust, as well, before working with it.
- The fat in your pie crust is critical if you like a flaky crust. The key is to not have your "shortening" melt before it gets into the oven. Chill your shortening, or butter, 15 minutes in the freezer before you add it to your crust recipe. This will produce the flakiest pastry.
- After mixing, you want your crust to still be a little crumbly. If the fat has warmed too much, your dough will be sticky. Place it in the freezer for 15-20 minutes before you begin working with it. If your crust is too dry, it will crack when you roll it. sprinkle with drops of ice cold water onto your crust until it is the right consistency.
- Remember! Try not to overwork your pie crust dough. This will result in a tough crust. The less handling, the more tender the finished product will be.
Happy baking!

Thought of the Day
With a rare October snowstorm in the Northern US today, it reminds me that nature really is unpredictable. Can we be better prepared for nature's wrath? Sure. Winter is right around the corner, we should all be as prepared as we can be for the first storms of the season.

- Keep extra bottled water on hand
- Have flashlights, candles, and a battery operated radio on hand
- Be sure to have plenty of batteries for the radio and the flashlights. ;)
- Keep rock salt and deicer on hand
- Keep foods in your house that can be eaten without electricity
- Check your snow shovels, and/or be sure your snow blower is in good working order
- If you live in an area that is plagued by winter storms, consider a space heater that runs on a fuel source other than electricity.
- Before the winter hits hard, access any dangerous trees on your property, and if they pose a threat to your house, consider removing limbs, or the entire tree if deemed necessary
- Have crafts and games available to entertain the family while the power is out, this can be a real lifesaver. lol
If you are 100% ready, with no worries or concerns, a snow day is a great excuse to drop the daily "routine" and enjoy the time you have with your family.

Note from Barb:
Still in the midst of a state to state move here, but things are finally slowing down a bit. Hopefully I'll be able to get out and enjoy the fall colors this week and be back around more frequently :) Thanks to Maureen for keeping the blog going so smoothly!
Also, thanks to blog reader, Karen, who came out to the GA book signing. It was so wonderful to meet one of our online friends!
Hugs to all!

Still in the midst of a state to state move here, but things are finally slowing down a bit. Hopefully I'll be able to get out and enjoy the fall colors this week and be back around more frequently :) Thanks to Maureen for keeping the blog going so smoothly!
Also, thanks to blog reader, Karen, who came out to the GA book signing. It was so wonderful to meet one of our online friends!
Hugs to all!

Ahhh, Fall is in the air. Cool, crisp evenings, apple pie, and pumpkin carving. Speaking of pumpkins, here are some sure fired ways to pick the perfect pumpkin for your fall decorating needs.
Ahhh, Fall is in the air. Cool, crisp evenings, apple pie, and pumpkin carving. Speaking of pumpkins, here are some sure fired ways to pick the perfect pumpkin for your fall decorating needs.
- Be sure your pumpkin has no mold anywhere on it, especially around the stem.
- Avoid pumpkins with scratches and/or dents.
- Knock on your pumpkin to be sure it has a nice "full" sound.
- Sit your pumpkin upright to be sure it is nice and level.
- Look for nice, even color before you choose your pumpkin.
- If you are picking your own pumpkin, a pumpkin that is ready to be picked will have a dried, somewhat brittle stem that is easy to remove from the vine.
- Store your pumpkin in a cool dry place until you are ready to carve it.
Look for more pumpkin tips in future blog posts. :)

Thought of the Day
We are always looking for ways to save money, and think that unless we can put away a huge chunk at one time, what is the point? The point is, the little things really add up! Something as simple as picking one day a week that you will not spend money can add up to big savings over time. Bring your lunch to work, pass on that Starbucks coffee, or make your own iced tea and skip that over priced Snapple. Start a "Spend Nothing" day this week and watch your savings add up!

Here are some tips to help you get ready for flu season:
Flu season is upon us. Prepare yourself, and your family, now and hopefully you can minimize your risks this year.
Here are some tips to help you get ready for flu season:
- Wash your hands frequently! You must wash with warm soapy water for a minimum of 10 seconds to effectively kill germs. If you have school aged children, impress upon them the importance of good hygiene, and have them wash their hands as soon as they arrive home from school
- Disinfect your house regularly. Spray the surfaces of your home with a mild bleach solution of 2-5% to kill most viruses and germs.
- If you are high risk for the flu, get vaccinated.
- Eat a well balanced diet to keep your immune system in top form. It can make a difference.
- Get plenty of rest. A lack of sleep can lower one's immune system making it harder to fight off illnesses.
- Stock up on all the regular cold and flu remedies. Nothing worse than getting ill and having to run out to the store because you have no Nyquil.
- If someone in your household gets the flu, see your doctor and ask about Tamilflu or Relenza. Use of these meds by uninfected people in your house can help prevent them from coming down with the illness. You must begin taking them upon exposure for best results.
Here's to a happy and healthy winter for everyone!

Note from Barb:
Mucho thanks to Maureen for the awesome freebies and tips this week! (Maureen, you totally rock!)
This is the weekend of my BIG move, so I won't be blogging until next week, but I know Maureen will be helping to keep things moving, so enjoy!
Also, if you are in the Atlanta area this Saturday, September 30, I'll be at a book-signing event from 3pm - 4:30 pm at the Atlanta Hilton Northeast, 5993 Peachtree Industrial Blvd., Norcross, GA. (I know, what was I thinking doing a signing the same weekend as I have a state to state move?! LOL Actually as these are scheduled way in advance, who knew? In any case, it will be a fun reprieve!)
There will be a lot of fabulous authors like Sherrilyn Kenyon, Debra Webb, Haywood Smith, Berta Platas, Sari Robbins, and Jennifer St. Giles in attendance too.
Preceeding the event is a reader's luncheon, if you'd like more details, click here: http://www.georgiaromancewriters.org/Luncheon/RLMain.php
Hope to see you there!
Until next week- keep saving those pennies!
Hugs,
Barb

Thought for the Day
The holidays are just around the corner, and that means much stress for many, many people. I don't know about you, but I have noticed that the older I get, the faster the minutes, hours, days just tick away..... right before my eyes. What used to take an eternity to arrive is here in an instant, and Christmas is no different.
My co-author, Barb, is just awesome at getting herself ready for the holidays throughout the entire year. If you are more like me, and are hoping to take some of the stress out of your holidays this year, you may want to take a look at this article: http://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/bhcv2/bhcarticles.nsf/pages/Christmas_tips_to_reduce_the_stress?OpenDocument
