The Recipes & Memories
I’ve gotten into a little routine with our youngest daughter. We text each other pretty regularly around dinner time, sharing what we’re making for dinner. I’ll also ask her opinion on a particular spice she might use or how she would doctor up a certain dish. Last night my husband and I realized we hadn’t…

Mother Mary
After yesterday’s little blog post, I felt the need to share a song of hope. It’s one of my favorite Christmas songs, although I don’t think it should only be heard at this time of the year. This song speaks to Mary directly and asks the simple question, “Mary did you know?”. I can’t help…

Christmas Memories
Something has struck me recently, just over the last few weeks. I have noticed on social media that people are playing a little remember when. It seems to me like this is occurring more this year than in past years, or maybe I’m just noticing it more. I see old pictures of past Christmas’, families…

Don’t Blink
I’ve mentioned in this little blog before how quickly time seems to be moving these days. Like weren’t we just ringing in the new year, and here we are just weeks from Thanksgiving? I don’t know about you but it seems like I’ve just walk into the office, then the next time I look up it’s 3:30…

The Change Of The Family
I’m guessing I’m like most people in that as I’ve grown older my relationship with my parents and my siblings has changed. My parents have been gone for more than 20 years, but even in those few years before they passed away my relationship with them changed. I confided in them more, grew closer to…

Toss In A Call
My husband and I have settled into a routine most nights. Once home from work and changed, we dig into getting dinner ready. He asks what he can do to help and many times I just offer an “I’m good”, so he’ll take a seat at the counter across from me. We chat about the…

Maybe I’m Old Fashioned
I guess most people who know me well would agree with the title of today’s little blog. I’m a bit old-fashioned I guess. I like simpler times when we weren’t so involved in technology, expensive coffee, and the latest food fads. I think families should be able to sit around the table each night for…

We Talk Too Much
I was a little later than usual getting home last night. It’s a busy week at work, my desk and office for that matter, looked like a toddler had played in it all day, and before I knew it my day was gone. My husband was already home, he had some oral surgery yesterday so…

The Dads No Longer Here
I have mixed emotions about Father’s Day. I love celebrating my husband and all that he is to our family. He is without a doubt the best dad, Opa, and Godfather to our family. He can have a conversation about anything, he loves to get in and play with our grandkids, well our kids too…

Picture This
Like most couples, we have many pictures around our home. Pictures of kids and grandkids growing up over the years. Pictures with friends, pictures of my husband and I at all stages of our life placed all throughout our home. We also have various pictures of our parents to round out the displays. Last night,…
