I love to iron and doing laundry.....
I love that print. Its gorgoeus and a vintage print, so I can see why we would both love it lol
I love ironing my grandma taught me how to iron when I was 8 years old hi I used to iron all my uncle's white handkerchiefs to go in his suit coat pocket perfectly creased perfectly points 💕
Beautiful and classic!
Pretty!
Love the prints and colors. So pretty!
You picked out beautiful bedding. I love it. I don't iron anymore either. ❤️😀
embrace the wrinkles. or find new sheets!
This is so pretty. Great job. ❤️❤️❤️
I don't mind ironing especially when you have a reward like your pretty bedding!
My iron is in the closet where it belongs! I would never have patience.
I love it. If you use a good heavy iron, it makes all the difference. I iron lots of things. Sometimes I feel like I’m the only person that even owns an iron. When I mention ironing most people respond I don’t own an iron. How can you live with an iron?
Love it
Beautiful
Beautiful!!!!
So pretty ❤️
Very pretty linens. But, if they were mine, they would stay in the closet because ironing would just never happen. Nope. I insist on 100% Egyptian cotton sheets—they are a wrinkled mess—but they go on my bed anyway.
I kinda like ironing. Therapeutic....
Beautiful bedding. I love the florals!
😍
Iron? What's that? 😉 Pretty, love it! Very springy 🙂
Beautiful!🌹
very pretty
So pretty! Love the flowers

Stupid iron! ... See MoreSee Less
I love iorning my napkins and small tablecloths. Someone told me about Mary Ellen's liquid search. Pour into a spray bottle with a mister setting, iorn set on steam, mmmmmm reminds me of my grandmother's starch. Best of all it doesn't leave residue!
My iron is from the early 60’s. Nice and heavy, no steam. Spray bottle works fine.
Take the time for contemplation? Ironing reminds me of grandma and I’m good at it but I’m fine with a dryer.lol
Hey.....I ironed today also!!! It's a rare occasion, for sure!!!
I’m a quilter so ironing is the togetherness of patchwork
Oh now...spritz it will water first...😉
you need a little spray water in a bottle or sizing spray in a can. works wonders. Maybe a bit of fabric softener too !! it's very pretty though I wouldn't buy anything that needs ironing.
They just don't make an iron that fits my hands
I love the print!!!❤️❤️❤️

New Haven pizza 🍕 #1 hands down! Watch documentary on Tubi “Pizza a Love Story”
My friend and I are getting pizza for dinner. However, let's get real...EVERY day is pizza day!!
Is that gyros meat?
For sure😘❤️
Dr. Lori, I feel ya on the pizza! Is there to be a DR Lori episode this week, or are you too busy jet-setting across the globe? ✈🍾😃 (It's almost like DYNASTY!)
That looks really good
I love pizza!
Yes, modern is my favorite ! ❤️
Born and lived for ~30 years. And this great documentary about it, "Pizza A Love Story." - www.imdb.com/title/tt5306490/
They even installed new highway signs saying we are Pizza Capitol ! Now I want Pepes....
Heart attack in a plate...but looks so good 😊
that looks so good 🙂
I make my own deep dish. 😋
New Haven pizza is the best!!! So good!! 🍕 🏆
Looks good!
Yum... Our son took us for the potato pizza near campus in New Haven. 😋
Oh man that looks good
Pizza home made 😋 My grandma had a pizza shop... family business...yum yum
Who remembers Godfathers pizza when they first came out?..lord they made a deep dish pizza that was loaded with toppings and it was the best. I would love to try your pizza joint. That pizza looks so yummers.
Me too!.....yum!!
Oh God I love Pizza, I could eat it everyday of my life!
We finally got to Sally’s and Pepe’s a few years ago. Yes we tried both in the same day! They were both incredible, and, I will get thrown out of NY for saying this, but they were better than Motorino in NYC (my former favorite).
What’s on it? Looks yummy

Congratulations to the Super Bowl champion Seattle #Seahawks. Can’t wait to share the glory when I headline the #Seattle Home Show February 19-21. #superbowl #badbunny ... See MoreSee Less
It was an awesome game
It was "humiliations galore" (to quote The Princess Bride) to the Patriots. Yay Seattle from a Pgh Yinzer!
Seahawks all the way
Boo Yaaa
Yay...way to go..
The real winner was the chili cream cheese dip lol
Woohoo!!!!💙💙💙
Looking good, Dr. Lori!
See ya soon!
Hey yes that will be fun for you. Thank you for the 20 bucks too. I made a bet by who you were supporting to win so I did same on this bet. And I won. Going into my thrifting fund
I have a Seahawk shirt the same color as your hat. I'm wearing it proudly in California.
Come with me on a tour of Pioneer Square when you’re here! Right next to the Home Show. Birthplace of modern Seattle. Great history, thrift shops, and food. Just say when!
Your skin looks amazing. Js
Congratulations to the Seahawks! 👏
Yeah...we are from Washington and Seahawk fans!!!
All right, I was on the fence for attending the home show, now I am definitely coming to see you!

Slathering my hands with creme, this winter. Brutally cold and my skin can’t take it. #skincare ... See MoreSee Less
My skin got the same way from the cold when I lived in PA.
Ouchie😞
My hands have been unusually dry this winter. I've been going through a lot of aloe hand cream.
holy cow, this never happened to me before. have one on my forefinger and next morning the tip of my thumb, surprised to see this post, lol. i do have bag balm so will try that
Put Bag Balm all over your feet and hands just when you go to bed. You'll be AMAZED in the morning!!!!
Yep...me too. My hands are dry and cracking...This winter is terrible 😫
After the moisturizer soaks in, apply Eucerin ointment to cuticles and cracks to hold in the moisture longer.
Working Hands by O’Keefe’s. Nothing better for the money. Unscented, too.
If you get cracks at the tips of your fingers or by your nail cuticle I like Bag Balm and cover with a bandaid. My husband was told by his dermatologist to use superglue. He claims it works great. Eventually wears off. Glue seals the split.
I use Cera Ve on the jar twice a day or I would have cracked hands and feet.
Omg I SO empathize!! 😬
This! I have resorted to putting about 2 layers of advanced repair lotion on my hands at night when I go to bed, then putting spa gloves on to make sure it stays locked in. Along with the 147 applications throughout the day.. 🤣 This year seems to be the worst for me!
Ohhhh I so relate to the thumb splits!! One will split.. start healing and the other will split!! I have started putting a small poultice bandage each night when I go to bed. Healing hand cream and a bandage. It’s helped a lot!!
Same here and the older we get it just gets worse! Lotion becomes your best friend.
Dr Lori, alas. I know all too well about the thumb (and finger) cracks! This year though, it seems so much worse, and I'm trying to use more hearty hand cream more regularly...
Oh my gosh, there is nothing worse than those little splits on the thumb like that! Both of my thumbs had them they have just finally healed! So painful
Same here! Gold Bond hand cream for me!
All day.
Those finger cracks have been so bad. Sometimes 4 fingers on one hand. I go thru band aids like crazy.
Try Amlactin. Suggested by my dermatologist. Use a small dab...love it.
Yep!
I used Zims crack cream and it was excellent for the dry winter hands. cheapisthenewclassy.com/2013/10/zims-crack-creme.html

Lindsey Vonn crashes early in Olympic downhill as she competes on torn ACL at age 41
www.wtae.com
Lindsey Vonn, racing on a badly injured left knee, crashed early in the Olympic downhill Sunday and stayed down on the ground as she received medical attention.Read the article www.wtae.com/article/lindsey-vonn-crashes-olympic-downhill/70278560 about her Milano/Cortina Olympics now.
She broke her leg. They had to operate on it. That is what was on the internet. Get well soon. 🙏 😢❤️
crashed today and broke her leg. so sad
I didn't know she had fallen again, this time catching a gate with her ski. She sure did work hard. I've had several cousins in winter Olympics this sport is brutal.
I'm conflicted on this one. I can see where she wanted to see if she "still got it" at 41. On the other hand her decision cost another, younger skier that could have medaled a spot on the team.
Attempting this with a torn acl , at 40? She prevented someone qualified from being on that team. Not cool.
She had a great practice run yesterday. So sad.
So sad! I really thought she would do it this time. Such determination!
So sad that woman had more determination than anyone I have ever seen, there are men that would not attempt that xo
Did she crash again today? Or during practice last week? I didn’t read the attachment, but we were just looking up the time it was coming on to watch
Praying for Lindsey Vonn🙏

I'm inspired by these 1950s vintage Valentine's cards... writing out mine on this bitter cold Saturd#loveg#valentinesdaye#chocolate#chocolate ... See MoreSee Less
My father gave me this card for my first Valentine’s Day 70 years ago!
My mother saved everything! The year I received these Valentines from my classmates, I was at home with the measles! I missed the party at school and I wasn't happy. My neighbor, who was also a classmate, dropped off my Valentine cards in the bag that I made, some party treats and my school work that I was missing. This was probably the early 1960's. Our dog(present day), Felix, clearly is unimpressed 😅❤️
I love the old ones!
That is really nice...I have a box full of vintage valentines cards... 1920 to 1970... do they lower in price if some have writting on the back???
Well I must show you then. From my friend Kim, circa 1968 and we’re still friends.
I remember the Cleopatra one
