Not only is this recipe easy, but it is also gluten -free. Mexican, or Tex-Mex food as we call it in Texas, is one of my favorites. My favorite, if you must know, and haven’t figured out by now, is desserts! I got this great recipe from Bisquick.

Impossibly Easy Taco Pie

This is one of my indulgent makeup items. I love everything about it.

I love the compact, the product, and the applicator sponge. I can touch up my makeup without any worry whatsoever that it is going to cake up on me.

It is referred to as “foundation” but I only use it as a touch up powder that I keep in my handbag. I have had it for years, long past the general rule of thumb of only keeping makeup for six months. But I do that with everything except mascara. You know how I go through mascara!

So if you are looking for a powder compact, this is the one you should try. The Dior Diorskin line in general is great, and you can find it at Sephora or sephora.com. I have tried their liquid foundation and was very tempted to buy it, but the price is a bit steep. That’s why I can justify the compact because I know it will last for years. Not so much for liquid foundation.

Are you getting ready for back to school? Oy vey did this summer go by quickly.

A great portal for homework resources for your kids during the school year is kidskonnect.com. The website was started in 1999 by a teacher who wanted to create a site that provided great resources for children to learn to use the internet safely and cover a wide variety of topics that children would use to aid in their homework and curriculum areas taught in schools.

It’s a great site to bookmark to have handy for your kids when they need help or resources with their reading, writing, and arithmetic! It is also a great resource for science, social studies, geography, music, art, and even fun and games.

Boy I wish this internet thing had been around when I was a kid!

Most of us don’t have a sink in our garage to clean up. And digging out the hose and trying to get rid of all that filth outside usually makes a bigger mess. So just make it easy on yourself and have these handy wipes ready! You can keep one in your car trunk, and in the garage, and you should be covered. My husband keeps one in his tool chest. We’ve had some pretty dirty jobs this summer! The Grime Boss Wipes remove so much more than a baby wipe can.
