i normally don’t blog on weekends, but i couldn’t let valentine’s day go without wishing you all a happy day! our weekend has been blissful so far! yesterday, i went to one of my favorite junk spots in the morning, then met some of my favorite people for lunch, worked for a bit and then...
i must say that our bagel Christmas extravaganza was everything i hoped it would be! even with high expectations, the evening didn’t disappoint. we all met at kelly’s new corporate apartment (i love typing that), we loaded up in becca’s suv and went to dinner. we had dinner at rockbottom, which i highly recommend! tom and i...
i love it. i’ve always been a new year’s resolution kinda girl. probably because i have so many things i need to work on! i’ll get on with that in a minute. i was just thinking over what i’ve actually done in the last week.
cooked- lasagna, homemade chicken noodle soup, prime rib, scalloped corn.
ate a...
everyone in the midwest is talking about the Christmas blizzard. it really was THAT bad. anything that keeps us from celebrating and upholding our traditions is pretty maj. our church’s Christmas eve service was cancelled….so that alone changed the way we normally celebrate. it just isn’t the same when you can’t go to church on...
for some reason, as Christmas approaches, i have even more of a desire to get creative. i think the whole concept of the Christmas season, makes one think about what really matters and WHO really matters. AND that makes me want to document my feelings and express the overflowing good thoughts, thus the focus on...
if there’s anything we want to do for the holidays, it’s now or wait until next year, right? i already have a list of ideas for next year! i’ll share those early in the season next year and hopefully accomplish them. overall, i’m pleased with the things i’ve done this year, even though once again...
i think one of the things that is most appealing to me about blogging and the whole concept of being online, is all the inspiration. i think the internet has had far, far more positive effects on my life than negative. i like to focus on the positive : ) even though the majority (by...
i’ve mentioned how much i love good light many times. of course, i’m partial to huge windows and natural light, but i also appreciate pretty incandescent light too. i’m not a fan of one overhead light in a room. i don’t think many people are, but i think sometimes it’s overlooked. from the time we...
i’m thrifty. although i really like quality things, i do like a bargain almost as much. so my approach to the holidays is this: create an atmosphere in our home that is cozy, festive, pretty, meaningful and as non-commercial as possible….spending as little as possible. this year, i haven’t spent any money on anything for...
i know we all have our own traditions, but just in case anyone is looking for ideas i thought i would share some of ours. plus, i just always enjoy hearing about other family’s holiday traditions, so maybe you do too.
black friday shopping. tom and i have done our Christmas shopping this way for years....
