I write when I am happy. I write when I am sad. But right now I find that once comforting words seem to evade me. What do you do When There Are No Words? Sometimes when I read other blogs it appears that the people who pen them live such wonderful lives I imagine them to be like storybook characters. Perhaps even my family may have seemed like a fictional wonderland for some. But right now, the reality is that we are living a life in which we have had to turn the helm completely over to ...

A Star To Light Our Path
There are times in life when you may walk in darkness. But there is A Star To Light Our Path. Shepherds Field Nativity Painting~ Munir Alawi A Star To Light Our Path “Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming, With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand. So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming, Here come the wise men from Orient land. The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger; In all our trials born to be our friend. He knows our need, to our weakness is no ... View the Post
The Inn Crowd
A few days ago I saw a button on my friend Joy’s blog. It asked a question about The Inn Crowd. It gave me pause for more than just a moment. I examined my heart and searched my soul. Nativity ~ John Singleton Copley The Inn Crowd In a literal sense, I have never been part of the “in crowd”. During the tween years, my reflection revealed a girl with buck teeth, hand me down clothes and a bad Dorothy Hamill haircut. The teen years were just as awkward. Like Joan ... View the Post
Let’s Talk About Love
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
A Christmas Makeover
I am writing this post one day after my last exhausting college final. Inside my home, except for a half-finished tree and a small advent calendar, you would not know that it was Christmas. There is no wreath on my front door. There is not a single garland draped anywhere. Do I need A Christmas Makeover? I am a gal who, in the past, has decorated even her bathrooms. Given that I write a blog that is primarily about making a home pretty, you can assume that yes, this is unusual for me. A ... View the Post
Yes, Virginia…
I believe. Do you? I believe that Santa doesn’t always wear a red suit. Sometimes Santa is a kind word or gesture. Or perhaps Santa is a harried mom in a minivan who allows me into her lane. Sometimes Santa is a tired, but kind sales clerk. I myself try to be the vessel in which the spirit of Santa can shine as often as it can. Yes, Virginia… Yes, Virginia… Over the weekend I baked cookies with my children and we shared the bounty with our friends and neighbors. I signed, sealed, and the ... View the Post
