“Tree Weekend”
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been sharing a little bit about our family traditions at Christmas time. For instance, this particular weekend was always the weekend we would get our Christmas tree. During its heyday, this event saw five families all piled into a panel truck, making the trip to our favorite tree farm.…

Things that Bind Us
When we lived back in IL I was fortunate to find an amazing group of ladies when I joined a small fitness group. This group, (the Chix in Training), was and is so much more than dragging yourself to an exercise routine. No, this was something I looked forward to three days a week. I…

Made with Love
We spent the weekend making our place festive for Christmas. It’s always fun to open the tubs to see what decorations are inside. Since this is only the second year in this home, we’re still trying to determine the best place to put things. As we pulled out the different items, not only did we…

A Trimming We Will Go
I’ve shared in this little blog in past posts the traditions our family has had over the years, especially around Christmas. The first weekend in December was always set aside for cutting down the real tree and decorating the house. Well this year due to some scheduling conflicts, we’re having to move things up a…

Shopping List
It’s the Tuesday of Thanksgiving week and if you’re like me, this is the day you brave the craziness of the grocery stores to get those final items for the big meal. Even though the stores are usually packed it’s a different kind of shopping. There is a different feeling in the air. People are…

Happy Holiday Week
Over the last few days, I’ve already begun to see social media posts of friends prepping for Thanksgiving. It’s been fun to see pictures of families starting to make stuffing, or prepare meatballs for the traditional soup. As I’ve shared before in this little blog, we used to host the McQueen Rally of the Clan…

Back Home
Today is an exciting day! We are back in our church! The work that has been completed over these past almost eight weeks is simply amazing. The clergy, staff, parishioners, and contractors have worked endlessly to keep things going. The moving of furniture, cutting out drywall, tearing up flooring, and working in temporary spaces, it…

Celebrate
As you all know yesterday was my husband’s birthday. Thank you all for sending special wishes. We are so humbled, by so many people who he has never formally met, wishing him a Happy Birthday! We are blessed indeed. Last night we went to dinner at our favorite restaurant, The Oyster Society on Marco. It’s…
