I don’t normally post on the weekend. I made the decision early on in blogging that I would instead spend time with my guy and his mini-me and mine. But I was pulled out of bed in the wee small hours of the morning wanting to talk about love. Yes, this involves a story. As Red Smith once said, “Writing is easy, you just sit down at a typewriter, open up a vein, and bleed it out drop by drop.” And so it goes, Let’s Talk About Love. Let’s Talk About Love Yesterday I received a card from my ... View the Post
Catching the Gingerbread Dog
Yesterday I spent the day with these Christmas cuties. We were Catching the Gingerbread Dog. We had a bit of lunch. Then spent the afternoon making delightful Gingerbread Houses. The boys sprinted to finish their house, while the girls were so detail oriented. Surprise, surprise. They would like you to vote for your favorite as I could not decide. Gingerbread houses Rudi was team lead on the cleanup crew. The evening before I attended a grand event, Moonlight, ... View the Post

The tree is STILL without a topper and ... View the Post
Finding Christmas
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.

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
