{ New Year Fun - 2017 Edition }

Every year, on the last day of the year, I do this post.  It is a way of looking back on what we've done, where we've been and what has happened throughout the year. I would like to say that 2017 was kind to us, but it really wasn't.  We lost two family members, my daughter struggled …

{ Simple homemaking day and getting ready for Christmas }

As I've gotten older, it seems that the Christmas spirit has been diminishing. I recall in my younger years, where I anticipated the season and loved every single minute of it.  The tree, the decorations, buying the gifts, wrapping, cooking and baking. While I still enjoy all that, it just tak…

{ Winter days }

It's cold, it's foggy, it's dark and dreary. The epitome of a perfect winter day.  I've always been a lover of Winter.  Not to say that I don't enjoy the other seasons, because I do, I think each has a beauty all it's own and pros and cons, but for me the cold, the dark day…

{ Decorating for Christmas }

Last year, I had no Christmas mojo. I felt like I stumbled onto the holiday season, right at the end and figured it was no use decorating.  So I didn't, and I felt bad about it because it didn't quite look like Christmas in my house. This year, I'm way ahead of the game, and decided th…
