Hello, friends! I’m currently sitting at my kitchen table writing with fresh snow falling outside my kitchen door. There’s only a blue-gray light left of the day and I’m craving a hot mug of coffee (but since I’m writing this on a Thursday evening, that might not be the greatest idea!). More snow is in […]
pin The first fluffy snowflakes of the year are due to fall this coming weekend! I find snowy days magical. They’re even extra magical when I have nothing on the agenda and I can watch nature put on a little show that makes the tree branches glisten like diamonds. The world seems to slow down […]
The cookies, treats, and food have been eaten. The tree may be on its way down this weekend, if not before. We’ve prepared for the Holiday season for at least a month – poured over our to-do list, shopped, wrapped, decorated, visited with family and friends. And in a blink of an eye it’s all […]
Happy Valentine’s Day! It hit me earlier in the month that 15 years ago yesterday, David asked me out for the first time (which lasted two weeks. Ha! You know what they say about second chances – if it comes back, its yours!) The fact I can even say I’ve known him for fifteen years just leaves […]

I’ll admit that it’s been nice to walk around without a coat, much less a heavy coat, or brace myself for the beginnings of a bitter winter, but the unusual sixty degree weather is cramping my Christmas style. If I didn’t see Christmas […]
Going over some older blog posts from this past year, I realized I never quite finished posting about our trip to Colorado. This was partially because I had decided to take a break from blogging before I could finish. When you’re not feelin’ it, you’re not feelin’ it and probably shouldn’t force inspiration. I wanted […]
Who else is ready for Spring? Between the Polar Vortex and the snow storms we’ve had, including today, I’m done. I was excited for the snow days at the beginning of the season (because who doesn’t love watching that gorgeous stuff come down with a warm cup of something in your hands?), but I think […]
