We had a group dinner for a friends birthday which was a lot of fun. I went into the city, had some Phillip time and today we are joinign them for breakfast then dinner with old friends tonight. Full weekend. Ready for the work week ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Today would have been my dear mom&#8217;s 87h birthday. I miss her so so much. Not a day goes by that I don&#8217;t think of her in some capacity (often many times during the day). I know she is watching over me. I just feel it. Feel grateful for the 84 incredible years I was lucky enough to have her here with me. When I am with Phillip, I cannot help but think and reminisce about when my oldest was about that age, and we lived in the city and all the fun adventures my mom and I took him on. Such. great times. My parents were young and to me it felt like it would last forever. Call me naive (I was 22 so guess I was) but just never ever thought about when she wouldn&#8217;t be there. Its an adjustment I am still making, some days it hits harder than others (like today). Thank God I have my dad!<\/p>\n<p>Anyone watching the Oscars tonight? I will tune in for the preshow, though we have dinner plans first. Years ago, NOTHING would have come between me and the Oscars, my friends and I had running texts for hours over who&#8217;s looks we like and those we didn&#8217;t. It was almost a ritual.\u00a0 I planned my whole day around it. I have lost interest over the years, don&#8217;t care for the movies they are making. In fact don&#8217;t even <em>know<\/em> the movies that are up for the big awards! But when I get home, I will likely tune in for part of it. Ok enough of my gabbing here is my post today<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">___________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>1 OUR FRONT PORTICO IS HAPPENING! <\/strong>I can&#8217;t tell you how excited I was to drive up to the house and see some actual progress.

We have even added some fabulous new pieces and restocked others. I think we are going to kind of go with it and make this a new category. Not only are the pieces so pretty but the price point is amazing, the kind that you don&#8217;t have to think about.<\/p>\n<p>I love and own quite a bit of fine jewelry but will often mix this in and it looks fabulous. I also will never (never again) take fine jewelry on vacation. Not when costume looks so good and you don&#8217;t have to panic about losing it, or getting it stolen (both of which have happened).<\/p>\n<p>Here are about 25 new pieces just added and don&#8217;t forget to celebrate until tonight all jewelry is 20% off!<a href=\"https:\/\/enchantedhome.com\/collections\/jewelry-spotlight?page=1\"><em><strong> CLICK HERE<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>(there is

surgery, so I made a small batch and sent them over. They definitely beat flowers though I did also send a small bouquet of tulips. These are so darn good! And really easy to make, if you love pistachio which we do<strong>. <\/strong>Always a huge hit, and they don&#8217;t last long (can stay refrigerate for 2-3 days in an airtight container) and probably could be frozen but I am not big on freezing desserts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-137224\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screen-Shot-2026-03-12-at-6.43.57-AM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"821\" height=\"526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screen-Shot-2026-03-12-at-6.43.57-AM.png 988w, https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screen-Shot-2026-03-12-at-6.43.57-AM-300x192.png 300w, https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screen-Shot-2026-03-12-at-6.43.57-AM-768x492.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 821px) 100vw, 821px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-137222 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screen-Shot-2026-03-12-at-6.37.28-AM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"805\" height=\"577\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screen-Shot-2026-03-12-at-6.37.28-AM.png 885w, https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screen-Shot-2026-03-12-at-6.37.28-AM-300x215.png 300w, https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screen-Shot-2026-03-12-at-6.37.28-AM-768x550.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 805px) 100vw, 805px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-137221 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screen-Shot-2026-03-12-at-6.38.23-AM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"446\" height=\"661\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screen-Shot-2026-03-12-at-6.38.23-AM.png 446w, https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screen-Shot-2026-03-12-at-6.38.23-AM-202x300.png 202w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 446px) 100vw, 446px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-137223\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screen-Shot-2026-03-12-at-6.40.42-AM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"447\" height=\"661\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screen-Shot-2026-03-12-at-6.40.42-AM.png 447w, https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screen-Shot-2026-03-12-at-6.40.42-AM-203x300.png 203w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 447px) 100vw, 447px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Ta dah!

Using gloves gently break up the entire cake into small pieces. Then add 8 oz of pistachio cream and 8 oz of hte mascarpone. Again with gloved hands, thoroughly mix it altogether. I then added about 1\/4 up finely ground pistachios (this is optional) to the mix.<\/p>\n<p>Using a small ice cream scoop, scoop out small balls, gently roll them through the ground up pistachios covering all areas. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment, Once done I refrigerated them which allowed them to \u201cset\u201d. Take them out a few minutes before you want to serve, add either ground pistachios over them as a garnish or powdered sugar. They stayed really well in the fridge for a few days ( and I am nearly sure you could easily freeze these as well) Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>5 THIS SCARES THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME! <\/strong>Here is a look at a fully autonomous Amazon factory and the most advanced robotic warehouse in America. It just feels so cold and sterile, not a human in sight. Yes, I understand this is likely way more efficient but I don&#8217;t know, I like the idea of human hands, voices filling the air of a big cold empty warehouse. This is just moving too fast for me!

It seems like this is just the way things are nowadays. Often, I like it for its convenience but I also often miss the inflection and warmth of human voice. Sometimes I will just pick up the phone and do things the. old fashioned way.<\/p>\n<p>I know as a society we are all getting use to this form of communication as our default way of connecting but I wonder if this is a grave mistake. I admit I do it <em>way<\/em> more than I pick up the phone but I am trying to be more conscientious of this.
