Saying Their Name
If you have read this little blog for long, you know that one of the organization’s my husband and I support is Wreaths Across America. Each year on the third Saturday of December, WAA makes the drive to Arlington National Cemetery with full-size semi trucks filled with handmade wreaths. These wreaths are placed on the graves of…

Hear the Melody
Last night while I was making dinner I heard one of my favorite Christmas songs. It’s sung by Josh Groban and if you’ve ever watched The Polar Express you know which song I’m referring to, (hint, I’ve also included it below in this little blog). Now don’t get me wrong there are many Christmas songs that I…

The Stocking were Hung…
Just a fun little story in today’s little blog. Over the weekend I had the idea to buy stockings for everyone in our office. I wanted to hang them on each office door for a couple of reasons, yes for decoration, but also as an opportunity for people to share little things with each other.…

In the Eyes of a Child
Yesterday I spent some time at a wonderful event we have each year at our church. We call it “Cookie Sunday”. Each year on the 2nd Sunday in Advent hundreds of sugar cookies, (baked by a wonderful group of women), are set out for the children and youth, (and let’s face it even the adults),…

Simple Celebration
This evening we’re looking forward to hosting some special friends for dinner. I’ve written about them before, a group of amazing people who came to know each other through disaster. You see we all came together as close friends last year during Hurricane Ian serving with the Marco Patriots. Through the challenges of that storm,…

It Is Doable
Recently my husband and I have been watching old Christmas movies. Some of the classics, you know, Rudolph, Charlie Brown, Home Alone, you get the idea. Well, last night we pulled out Miracle on 34th Street and opted for the black and white version, not the “enhanced version” with added color. Isn’t it funny how…

Pancakes and Traditions
I’ve mentioned before in this little blog that our family has some pretty set traditions when it comes to the weeks leading up do Christmas. Well, we have some pretty set traditions on Christmas day too, but that’s for later. I’ve also mentioned that due to schedules this year, our typical traditional activities moved up…

Trimming and Memories
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. It was nice to have a little downtime and not have an actual schedule to follow, (outside of Thanksgiving morning that is). I can’t believe we’ve finished Thanksgiving and are already looking at Christmas in a few weeks. My husband and I were looking at the December…

Giving Thanks – Always
Last night on the way home from work, we stopped at the beach to watch the sunset. I have to admit it was a beautiful evening, with very little wind, and the beach, surprisingly was not that crowded. There were groups of friends who, like us had come down just to watch the sun set…
