Has Christmas EXPLODED in anyone else’s house? I ask because between shopping, baking, wrapping gifts, doing laundry, making dinner and trying to keep my house clean (trying being the operative word) I am feeling more tired than ever! Don’t get me wrong, I have lots of Christmasy (is that a word?) JOY running through myRead more
I’ve been feeling under the weather the past two days. Today I spent most of my time either in bed or on the couch. The Mister wasn’t in any better condition. On Wednesday night he started feeling sick and then by Thursday he had a full blown infection. We went to the Day & NightRead more
Tonight, I finally get to spend some time with The Mister. When I say time, I mean quality time. The past week has been crazy and I really admire you ladies whose husbands are in retail. It’s not nice to have to end your holiday/family time early so your husband can go to work. ItRead more
Black Friday is over and I’m grateful that it is. Now, I can have my hubby back. Having a husband in retail during the holidays is not going to be fun. I can feel it in my bones! Speaking of bones, I bought a JAWBONE this evening. Trying to figure it out. Any tips? IRead more
As you read this post, it is Thanksgiving day. The Mister and I have woken up early to get the turkey in the oven and my house is clean and we are lying around in our pajamas just waiting until around 10AM to heat the food that was prepared late last night. Hopefully it didRead more
When we moved into our new home I was so excited about the way my kitchen was set up. It opens up into the living room and is also open to the dining room as well. It had what seemed like a lot of cabinet and counter space as well. Well, at least until IRead more
Today was definitely a day to be remembered in my books. Our church finished an awesome series titled, “What On Earth Am I Here For?” and our three services were a celebration. We had new music, baptisms,testimonies and Thanksgiving type desserts. It was awesome! Some friends brought me back some of this amazing stuff fromRead more
I’m not completely sure why but I have a tiny obsession with the whole Christmas Village idea. Having a little porcelain village of unreal people sit on a table in my living room during the holidays makes me smile, really big! My mom never did the whole village thing but my aunts do and IRead more
It’s Day 20 of Nablopomo and today I am at a total and complete loss of what to blog about. Here’s what I’m looking at right now. Of course, now I’ve typed some words but I sat here staring at my screen for about five minutes. This is what’s in front of me. My prettyRead more
Just this last week, a friend of mine offered me a persimmon tree. She asked me if I’d ever eaten one and I told her that I had not. That conversation left me wanting to try a persimmon. This weekend, The Mister and I made a trip to our local COSTCO and they had persimmons!Read more
