Welcome to The Good Life!

Welcome to The Good Life! Back in the 20th century, I wrote a weekly newspaper column , "Easy Entertaining". I still meet people today who tell me they miss reading the column. Why? because it dealt with an everyday event: making a meal ....but, making it special. And by making it special, it added to their good life.



We're all busy -working, shuttling kids to afterschool programs, volunteering, whatever- and life can get us down. The trick is to find little ways to bring us up. "Easy Entertaining" always presented a menu based on a theme-whether it be a Mother's Day Breakfast in Bed or Supper to Celebrate 100 on a Math Test. In the article was a suggestion for the table centerpiece. And now you say, "Who has time for that!" But you do...how long does it take to put your child's picture in the center of the table, write 100 on a post-it and stick it on the frame? Point is, The Good Life comes about not with time-intensive projects but with forethought and simple solutions (more on that in the future!)



I truly hope this blog will become a forum for your comments and suggestions for making life fun, easy, and rewarding. Feel free to send your ideas on anything from cooking to gardening to crafts. Talk about family life, your work place-whatever can create a better life. And thank you for all your enthusiasm!
