We’ve had a wonderfully full Christmas and are very blessed–and still recovering! I wanted to share a few images with you from our holiday, but if you know me at all, you’ll know I’m rather indecisive, so instead of choosing the best couple of pictures, I’m sharing dozens with you! Above are images from our [...]

Here is a virtual Christmas card for you! Thank you for reading and justifying the insanity! Hope you have a beautiful holiday full of new memories!
Last year (one year ago, yesterday) I tried to surprise my husband on his birthday by dragging him to the mall so I could participate in a flash mob singing of the Hallelujah Chorus. As it turns out, we spent the whole time trying to find a place to park, missed the singing, took forever [...]

Here’s what she said: I made several of these felt and flannel Ho Ho Ho banners last year to give away, made with [...]

While we were staying with my in-laws for Thanksgiving, my mother-in-law pulled out this pre-assembled gingerbread house for me to decorate with my [...]

Today is the first day of December! Are you all still with me? No panic attacks or passing out? This time of year always seems to fly by and it feels like I am squeezing 3 times the events and activities on to the calendar as will comfortably fit there. Today is my birthday, but [...]
