It is already February 2023. Who can believe it? January was a blur. A cold blur. I guess that would be a brr blur. Anyway, here we are on the other side of Groundhog Day (thank you, Phil for six more weeks of winter), and Valentine’s Day is here! Flowers, conversation hearts, chocolate, and cute …
If there was one time of year that I could experience in slow motion, it would be now. The start of fall. The weather is changing and those of us in the south are finally feeling a break in the hot, humid, sticky summer temperatures. The mornings and evenings are crisp and cool and a …
I can’t believe it is April already. Easter is here! Bunnies! Little chicks! Candy in spring pastel colors! Little ones hunting for Easter eggs in sweet Sunday-best outfits is just the best, isn’t it? I remember when mine were little. Their sweet little hands were just big enough to grab those eggs and boy could …
St. Patrick’s Day is tomorrow so it’s time to talk about all things Irish. Still plenty of time to fill the week with some shenanigans. I don’t think that’s an Irish word, but it sounds like one to me, so it felt right. Lucky Charms, leprechauns, pots of gold and rainbows. So many options. Traditions …
It’s that time again! Hearts, flowers, candy and so many cute valentines! I love shopping for cards for the boys to give out at school. I enjoy seeing all the clever ways people incorporate our favorite things into this holiday. Speaking of our ‘favorite things,’ I was saddened to learn of the recent death of …
It’s time to talk about the big guy himself. I love Santa Claus! Everyone waits for the man with the bag and why not? We’ve all been good this year. Well mostly, but we all deserve a little something extra for making it through 2020, right? Santa Claus plays a big role in the magic …
Christmas Eve at our home did not disappoint. It was full of all the sights, sounds, and smells that accompany this joyful, yet busy time. Everything is finally wrapped (or should be) and tucked under the tree. Christmas music plays in the background as one by one; items are prepared for the Christmas Eve meal. …
Christmas is upon us and I do not know about you, but it it has all come so fast! I just want to slow down and have an extended stay in my own version of the North Pole. Holiday music, baking, Christmas movies and the anticipation of beautifully wrapped packages being opened by excited little …
It’s that time. The holiday menu. So much to cover! Holiday traditions plus the menu for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Christmas cookies and fun things for the kids. We, like all of you, have our favorites and I am sharing some recipes that we have enjoyed over the years and have become our ‘must …
There is a good chance that many of you are experiencing snow right about now. Depending on where you live, it may not even be your first snow of the season. It snowed here in Mississippi for about an hour one morning this week but that certainly wasn’t enough to cover my yard and trees …
