It was difficult Finding Christmas this year. I didn’t put up one scarecrow at Halloween. My pair of well-worn pilgrims were not anywhere in our home at Thanksgiving. This is unusual for me. Friends and family members alike commented on the lack of my, generally abundant, holiday décor… and now, December beckons. With it the fear of a lack of Finding Christmas. As a rule, my gifts are bought and our Christmas cards are sent before the first week has passed. But this year felt different. My ... View the Post
Pumpkin Pie Alternatives and Funny kids
It’s Monday. Sometimes at the start of a stressful week, I need extra encouragement in remembering just how blessed I am. I have NO idea where these two learned such outlandish behavior. Probably from their Auntie. Pumpkin Pie Alternatives and Funny kids. (Sweet boy and the Fashionista mugging it up on the way to see Sir Elton John.) Pumpkin Pie Alternatives and Funny kids Truth time. I would be perfectly happy to never eat another slice of pumpkin pie. I know, it’s totally ... View the Post
Happy Halloween from…
Steven Tyler from Aerosmith, aka The Fashionista on her way to work. Check out the rock star footwear! The dashingly handsome Zorro. Accompanied by a French artiste.

Tiny Sweet Treats and Ghoulish Attire
I am sure that many of you have seen the sweet cake buntings that talented bloggers have been creating recently.

Here is a close up of the three tiny triangles made ... View the Post
My Own House of Horrors
Ok, so My Own House of Horrors is not quite as bad as this: My Own House of Horrors But I always have a ton of school projects waiting to get done and there always seems to be laundry to fold. Bathtub rings that need scrubbing and rubbish that needs to be emptied. But last Friday I decided to leave it all behind and spend the day with my two special guys. I have found that if I apply the 20-year rule to my life, it makes decision making a lot easier. What is the 20-year ... View the Post
A Sweet Blessing
Tomorrow will mark the occasion in which a teeny baby arrived a bit too early into our lives. It is hard to imagine that we will celebrate his 9th birthday. I still picture him as a sweet boy sandwich. A Sweet Blessing. A Sweet Blessing He was christened at the church of St. Michael and All Angels in the village of Pirbright, (Surrey) England, which is also where Mr. Decor’s Aunt Bette and Uncle David live. A church has stood on these same grounds for over 800 years. There are ... View the Post
