  • Fun on the 4th

    Wednesday July 7, 2010

    Our 4th of July Sunday was super low-key.  We went to church, came home and napped, and then headed over to a friend’s house for dinner and fireworks. The kids had fun running around in the backyard. All the kids (and a certain Dad) enjoyed a Popsicle. The cupcakes were yummy too. As it got [...]

  • Easter

    Tuesday April 6, 2010

    We had a lovely, low key Easter. We dyed eggs the night before.   We almost skipped it, but the kids had a blast, so I’m glad we made the time.  I never got around to buying the PAAS kit, but it turns out that the food coloring dyes I had on hand worked just fine. [...]

  • Happy Maewyn Socket Day!

    Wednesday March 17, 2010

    Round these parts, we take a low-key approach to St. Patrick’s Day.  We wear our green, but don’t do any carousing at the local pub. We did have a green dinner – Tex-Mex Americana style: Guacamole burgers (minus the bun, cuz I was out), french fries, and broccoli.   It all kinda cancels out, right? If [...]

  • Happy Valentine’s Day!

    Sunday February 14, 2010

    I hope you had a nice day – we did.  Ours was a low-key kind of day.  We don’t make a big “to do” about Valentine’s – my big thing was having a V-Eve party the night before.  We are trying hard to crunch our budget and reduce spending, so neither of us spent much [...]

  • Snow Much Fun

    Saturday December 19, 2009

    Unless you live under a rock, you probably heard the East Coast got a whopper of a snow storm.  Our area got up to 24″;  I estimate our house got closer to 15-17″ but it sure felt like more.   This is how we spent our snowy day. By 11am, we had 8″ of snow. This [...]

  • Deck the Halls… Holiday Home Tour

    Monday December 14, 2009

    There a bunch of blog “carnivals” out there featuring people showing off their Christmas decor, so I thought I would play along.   My house is definitely imperfectly decorated, but there are also many parts of my Christmas decor that I love and am happy to share with you!  It’s photorific, so go grab a coffee [...]

  • My new favorite tree farm

    Saturday December 12, 2009

    I love getting a live Christmas tree and love the idea of going to a cut-your-own tree farm and hand selecting the perfect tree.  However, I have a particular idea about what the perfect tree should look like, and it’s typically not found at any of the tree farms in our area.   I have come [...]

  • Sounds of the Season

    Tuesday December 8, 2009

    *** Reminder:  I’m giving away a beautiful necklace, courtesy of Tracey Jolley Designs – check it out!! *** We love Christmas music — maybe not in the malls in September, but in our home.  It’s nice to have on while bustling about with all the holiday preparations.  I thought I would share some of our [...]
