Decking the Halls
Christmas is here! It’s time to decorate!!! This year, much like the last two, we decorated the tree together. I am always ready with the camera. Scott gets some good Nat King Cole playing in the background, while the girls are ready to grab ornaments and decorate the tree. While every year is much like […]
Tree Farm
In Florida, we don’t have Christmas tree farms (that I know of). You can get some pre-cut trees, but you can’t chop them down yourself. When I was a kid we only cut them down ourselves. And it was such a fun tradition. We’d drive out to a tree farm about 40 minutes away, trudge up […]
Happy Thanksgiving!
{Recipe} Orange Cranberry Sauce
I will tell you that my most favorite meal is Thanksgiving dinner. Yummy yum yum! I love it and all the leftovers that come along with it. I love mixing it all together and creating fun things like hot open-faced turkey sandwiches smothered with gravy. Which brings me right where I love to be frequently…gravy. […]
Happy Birthday, Willow-bee!
Our sweet Willow turned 5 on Halloween. Five. Hard to believe my sweet girl is five already, but so it goes. They grow so quickly. I have loved all of our Willow moments. She came into this world so peacefully, but howled like a storm for the first year of life. She has been just […]
Trick-or-Treat!
All around here are great, safe opportunities for the kids to take part in for Halloween. Our library hosted a fun trick-or-treat night last week for the kids. Of course we are going out on Halloween as well, but that day is also Willow’s birthday. So there will be plenty to share about that day […]
Jack-O-Lantern
It seems to me that since we’ve moved to Florida, the entire notion of getting and carving pumpkins almost completely slips my mind each year. In fact, if the kids hadn’t reminded me this year it probably would not have happened. And I know why. It’s the air. It doesn’t remind me that it’s time. […]
Happy Grandparents’ Day!
Grandparents’ Day is too often overlooked, in my opinion. Our kids receive so much love and adoring attention from their grandparents. They deserve so much in return. So today the kiddos and I put together these precious pictures featuring their sweet little hands and feet. I have been planning this one for a while. I […]
Happy Independence Day!
Scott and the older girls have gone to see the fireworks, while I stay at home with the little ones who have already made their way to Dreamland. And as the house has quieted I’m looking back on this day. These are the days that revolve around family and traditions and making forever memories for […]
