The last day of 2015! There has been so many great things happen this year, and I'm thankful! We've had great moments shared with family and friends. We've laughed, we've cried, we've did life, and I'm thankful for this life of mine, and this year that's been a part of this adventure we call life. I'm thankful for this journey the Lord has...
Today, I am taking a moment longer to just stop and recognize some of the beauty of life! God is so amazing! I'm also dwelling on this Bible verse I read yesterday while spending some time with the Lord. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,...
Most of the Christmas decorations are now taken down. Maisy is enjoying her space where the Christmas tree used to be. We were so blessed to have such a great Christmas with family and friends! ...
Christmas morning has included coffee in a new mug, and I love it! Christmas has also included the night before Christmas, the day of Christmas, reading the Christmas story, great time with family, great time with friends, great food, great gifts, and the greatest gift of all is that He came to this Earth and did what He did for you and I....
Christmas Eve morning spent at work then the rest of this week with family!

This evening we celebrated the birth of Jesus with the best of friends we could ask for...these people are our chosen family. They're not just simply members of our community, they are our chosen family...our chosen brothers and sisters...nieces and nephews...each of them are so dear to our hearts. While we unwrapped each gift, we appreciated every single thing that was received, but,...
Some rainy December days are meant for relaxing by the Christmas tree. It's a rainy December morning. The kids are at school. They'll be exchanging gifts with their friends, as Christmas break draws near. I'm scheduled for a late morning at work, and our Maisy is relaxing next to the Christmas tree. ...

We have a Christmas Party to go to this evening. We are celebrating the season with family and friends. As our daughter and I went grocery shopping and went to nearly finish up the last bit of Christmas shopping we had to do today...as we got Christmas treats for the tasty and thoughtful gifts, and as we talked about the Christmas Party we...
'Tis the Season! We're decorated for Christmas, even on the outside of our place. It looks like late Fall here, but it certainly doesn't feel like it...it's a really warm day! It's Friday. I will go to work today, then I will be off for two days. Happy weekend! ...
This was for breakfast this morning. Blueberry waffles and coffee (with whipped cream and caramel). This was in my Bible reading this morning...a verse to always keep tucked away in my heart! Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. -Psalm 37:4 So, so true! ...

Today, I made homemade pancakes, and the kids were excited! I cleaned house. Then we shopped. We Christmas shopped. Bree and I were festive...we wore Christmas earrings and Christmas colored socks (mine were fuzzy). We got almost every bit of our Christmas shopping finished today. Then we ordered pizza for dinner. Pizza and breadsticks! So, this evening, I've wrapped gifts, and made ornaments,...
This day of ours... Lunch date with my guy! We're eating at Cootie Brown's, and it is our first time dining here. The colors are certainly eye catching. And...the lights...they're neat-o! Oh, and even that spoon that is next to the W on the welcome sign...that's different! My husband even pointed out our windows were garage doors. Cool stuff! Great food, a great...
So, this year...I thought of putting a Christmas tree upstairs, but wasn't sure about it. We have big glass doors up there, and it just makes sense to have pretty Christmas lights shining through. Photo Details: Father's Day Weekend. Then the photo behind it is our daughter blowing out her 15th Birthday candles. Fast forward to the day after Thanksgiving. We got the...
Last weekend we started putting up the Christmas decorations. We got the prelit tree out of the box that we have used the last several years, and, well, some of the lights would not light back up on it, so we found ourselves buying a new Christmas tree for downstairs.And now...now, it's finally, beginning to look like Christmas at our place, and I'm...
