I am traditional in the sense that I wanted a star on the top of my tree. I have had this star since I had my first Christmas in my own home back in 2005. The star is a very simple one that I picked up at Target but I love it. When I asked my boys what we should…
This song gets me every time. The very first time I heard it I remember sitting in my home church in San Diego and the lyrics rang out from the voice of Lisa Wickham. Her voice had such power and I remember thinking she sang the song with such conviction, it brought tears to my pre-teen eyes. Now as a…
Squint your eyes with me and imagine these precious three trees that are sitting in an office building lobby in my upstairs sitting room… That is what I am doing. I am sad to report that there are no Christmas trees sitting in my house this year. I am not quite sure how I am feeling about it, but it…
I can now stop stalking every delivery truck that pulls down my street, my area rug was delivered today! I love it. It is so nice and plush and I think it really helps define the area that I have set aside as the sitting area. The color is not as vibrant as I had pictured in my mind but…
This morning the two younger brothers and I spent with my MOPS family. We had a wonderful Happy Birthday Jesus party. My friend really knows how to throw parties and it was a blast to spend the morning with most of the ladies at my MOPS table. So today although I did not snap a picture of our little family…
I have this spot that I enjoy sitting… the table holds a picture of the hubby and I on our wedding day saying our vows and some candles. The table is the perfect spot to hold my tea cup. This spot is a well used one! Tonight, this spot is where I sought out a little quiet time after dinner…
Well the snow is falling here… not at this present moment but there is not much in the way of green here. I flew in late last night from my little trip away and was greeted with white stuff on the grounds. I am glad we are getting a little Christmasy weather maybe it will spark a desire to make…
Let me just set the record straight… I am a truly blessed woman. I have a wonderful husband who took off of work a few days to allow me to head out of town, he handled our three little men like a champ. I have wonderful friends and family living in Washington who dropped with daily lives to let me…
Oh sakes, I have been woefully lacking in the Christmas spirit so I had to snap some pictures of some wrapped presents under a friend’s tree. We still do not have a tree, the boxes of Christmas stuff is still tucked away in the garage storage. Will we ever get them down? At this point I am afraid to say…
This task would normally be a really hard one for me to come up with. I read a lot mostly blogs and recipes on this day particular I was reading the hand written recipes of my grandma that had passed away. The one and only thing that I so desperately wanted from my grandma’s belonging was just some of her…
