Just a quick Merry Christmas from me and my crew… Hope you all enjoy the holiday to the fullest. Much love,
It Really IS a Hellava Town!
New York City is simply amazing. For SO many reasons. But it’s extra amazing at the holidays. The hustle and bustle is even more so and there are festive decorations and lights and Christmas trees just about everywhere. I have SO many things to say and could go on for days (and MANY posts!) about the things…
Different Worlds
There are people everywhere, many with different accents and strange words I do not know, flowing from their mouths. There are sights and sounds and smells and my senses are overloaded. Lights, so many lights. Food of all kinds. Authentic cheesecake, actually from New York. Nuts and hot dogs and “street meat” on every corner,…
Peppermint Bark (also known as my “Christmas Crack”)
I decided a few weeks ago that I would make some peppermint bark as part of the kids’ teachers Christmas presents this year. I found some cute jars at Big Lots and thought they would be perfect to contain my favorite Christmas candy. Anyway, I’ve had this stuff on the brain for a while now,…
Berries, Buds & Babies (okay, kids, but hey, they’re MY babies forever!!)
Christmas time in Louisiana can be is always pretty warm. I think the high temp today was around 76. Who knows what it will be on actual Christmas Day. I would guess 65. The camellias bloom in December and January, making it look almost Spring-like in the dead of winter. And the ONLY snowmen we…
Better Days
Today was a better day. We had a lazy morning and then spent some time outside in the nice, 68-degree weather this afternoon. Playing with friends, having snacks, taking a few pictures here and there. I made some “puppy chow” and well, chowed on it. That stuff is good. I may or may not have…
Noise
We pulled into the garage and the kids jumped out of the car, full of sugar and vim and vigor. Tim went in with them as I switched to the driver’s seat and pulled right back out to make a quick run to the grocery store for some essentials for lunches and such. I felt…
For the record, she did NOT sit in his lap…
I posted this photo on Insta.gram on Saturday while we waited in line to see Santa. Or I should say while my oldest son (the only one to actually approach, talk to and sit in Santa’s lap) and the rest of the family waited in line for him to see Santa. Bygones. Anyway, someone commented…
The Halls are Decked, yo.
We’ve had our Christmas decorations out since the Sunday after Thanksgiving but today/tonight was the first time I really took a few photos. I just love this time of year… This first photo was inspired by my friend Jennifer’s own post today… And the rest? Well, I just like taking photos. But y’all know that…
My First (and only?) Half Marathon – Dallas White Rock 2011
I am not really sure where to start with this post because I have so much in my head to write about my experience last weekend. First of all, I rode to and from Dallas with some of the best women on the planet. They supported me, prayed with me, laughed with me and helped…
