On Monday, I hosted my fourth annual cookie exchange. It is a great way to make sure I get my house ready for Christmas, and then I get to enjoy a lovely evening with friends and neighbors. Not to mention, a bounty of treats! Here’s this year’s baking beauties: This year’s collection of goodies...
What a crazy weather weekend! Snow in October was definitely a first for us. We spent the day snuggled up inside/frantically cleaning to make the house presentable for the pumpkin carving party planned for the evening. This is our second year hosting a carving party, so I guess it has become a tradition. The...

The centerpiece of our machinations was the BluTrack racetrack that Sam received as his main birthday gift from us. ...
We had a great time “ringing in the new year” with friends. I have that in quotes because we were back at home, with the kids tucked in their beds by 9pm. New Year’s celebrations tend to start and finish early when you run with the 8 and under crowd. We joined up with...
