All the Christmas decorations are taken down and put away. What’s left are some pretty winter decorations. I’m staring at my fireplace mantel with its pretty green garland and shiny green ornaments along with some white candles and I’m thinking….I’m gonna have to put all this away and find my Valentine’s Day decorations some […]

MY WORD OF THE YEAR 2018
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2018!!!! I love the beginning of a new year. Making resolutions and starting fresh. Excitement for what’s to come. Over the past couple of weeks, a beautiful word has been popping up in my daily life that I can’t ignore as some kind of a sign. I bought my daughter a cute […]
MY CHRISTMAS PRESENTS
I love Christmas! I love buying gifts for friends and family. I love seeing their faces when they open up the gifts. One of my love languages is gifts. Strangely, I don’t enjoy receiving gifts as much as I like giving them. Something I’m working on! In our family, everyone buys a gift for […]

HAPPY BELATED THANKSGIVING! ~some good recipes on our menu
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Ours was quiet (as quiet as it can get with 6 kids and 3 dogs!) with just our family and our first grand puppy. It was wonderful having everyone home all in one place. As the kids grow older, I treasure these moments. I know one day soon, […]
THANKSGIVING MEMORIES MADE ~ Conversation starters
How was everyone’s Thanksgiving? Mine was great minus the very sore muscles from working out the day before and catching whatever bug the kids brought home with them.
