The boy is OK too. {from the vault} Day 24: Tradition/Something I always do I love grinding my own beans for my morning coffee. There’s something therapeutic about that whirring sound. Day 25: Lunchtime The girls and I decided to bake cookies on Christmas afternoon. They were, uh, edible. But we had a ton of fun. Notice the boy isn’t around…

    If You’re Stressing Over Christmas, You’re Doing It Wrong (Repost}

    13 December 2012 / 5 Comments

    The other day I was watching CNN and they were talking about how to soothe the guilt over not being able to give the number and types of gifts one would like to give this Christmas season and I was kind of thrown for a loop. I always thought Christmas was about celebrating the birth of the savior with the gifts being secondary (possibly even tertiary) on the list of importance.  Then I read an interesting post by Stefany on her blog To.

    What Has Brought You Joy?

    28 June 2011 / 2 Comments

    My girls are my pride and joy.  Don’t get me wrong, I like the boy too.  I mean, he is my son and all but there’s something about hanging out with my girls that brings me so much joy.  I can say that because I know the boy doesn’t read my blog but the girls do and if they try to tease him with this post, it’ll backfire because I’ve already texted him and told him that he’s my favorite.  He knows the deal… On this particular day, the girls and I had decided to go walking along the Back Mountain Trail, a nice little path that winds through the mountains where we…
