Last night, I hosted my third annual Christmas Cookie Exchange party. It’s become a tradition that I look forward to each year. I always host the party the Monday before Christmas — it gives me the weekend to cook and clean, and once I’ve gotten everything ready for the party, I feel like my...
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...
We love you Daddy! Here’s a little video to let you know. Note: initially I had a bad link, video should work now.
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...
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?...
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...
We hosted a pre-Valentine’s dinner party for some friends on Saturday eve. It was 4 couples + 9 kids (all six and under) – I wasn’t sure how crazy it would be, but we had a wonderful eve! The theme was fondue — cheese and chocolate (not at the same time, of course), rounded...
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″...
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...
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...
