We Made It

I know many of you that are feeling just that…We made it. It has been a really hard year for many. I have watched friends hurt this year like I have never seen before. I have watched friends lose a parent, bury a child, get layed off and struggle financially. My...

Just A Little Longer

I have to admit that the Christmas season just goes way too quickly. I still have my tree up and we will probably keep it up for a few more weeks.   I don't take it down until the soft glow of the tree is obnoxiously embarrassing in mid January. I wish...

Unexpected Gift

It is hard to believe that tomorrow is Christmas Eve. The season goes so quickly except if you are a little child….then it drags on and on and Christmas morning seems like an eternity away. I wrote earlier that we were really trying to take this season to think...

As Good As It Gets

One of my very favorite parts about the Christmas season is the excitement of getting Christmas cards. I love adding each one to the wall and looking at all the people we love through out the month. We keep our cards and love looking at them each year as we bring out...

Being Realistic

Have you ever watched Oprah's Favorite Things episode? I am sure you have! I remember when Jack was a baby and rushing home with one of my best friends (along with her baby) so we could watch it. I have to say that 10 years ago the episodes were a little more...

Hands and Feet

When I was a little girl I could spend hours looking through the Sears and JCPenney Christmas catalogs. My brother, sister and I would circle everything we wanted. It didn't matter that we wouldn't get all the things we had circled…the fun was talking...
