I was feeling a tad “Scrooge-ish” last week. Don’t know why exactly. Maybe because my husband was working practically non-stop and my holiday shopping duties were not anywhere NEAR done. Oh and also? I didn’t feel like my mantle was quite done, so to remedy ALL these feelings, I looked to retail therapy. I’m here…
Plan a Trip with your Man/Woman/Partner ASAP!
When Tim looked at me in October with weary eyes and said, “I need a break, let’s go somewhere” I of course said, “Yes, LET’S!” I LOVE to travel and have my parents to thank for this, since they do as well. We went on a family vacation pretty much every summer of my life,…
The House that B,G & K Built
The kids did a gingerbread house with their grandmother while Tim and I were out of town. I kinda missed doing it with them but she also gave them complete free reign (which I am not very good at. ahem.). Anyway, I think it still turned out pretty well. We’ll just call it abstract, k?…
Christmas was good… as you can see.
I’m sitting here with a nasty cold, I think. I’ve been a little sick over the holidays and I’m guessing that the fact that I have not formally exercised AND have not been eating an ideal diet lately (oh my Mother’s Christmas treats are so good…) are probably not helping. Wait. I KNOW they are…
Our Christmas Card…
Just a quick Merry Christmas from me and my crew… Hope you all enjoy the holiday to the fullest. Much love,
It Really IS a Hellava Town!
New York City is simply amazing. For SO many reasons. But it’s extra amazing at the holidays. The hustle and bustle is even more so and there are festive decorations and lights and Christmas trees just about everywhere. I have SO many things to say and could go on for days (and MANY posts!) about the things…
For the record, she did NOT sit in his lap…
I posted this photo on Insta.gram on Saturday while we waited in line to see Santa. Or I should say while my oldest son (the only one to actually approach, talk to and sit in Santa’s lap) and the rest of the family waited in line for him to see Santa. Bygones. Anyway, someone commented…
The Halls are Decked, yo.
We’ve had our Christmas decorations out since the Sunday after Thanksgiving but today/tonight was the first time I really took a few photos. I just love this time of year… This first photo was inspired by my friend Jennifer’s own post today… And the rest? Well, I just like taking photos. But y’all know that…
I got a sewing machine for Christmas but I didn’t make these
Yeah, I hope to sew some things for K and maybe even some other items eventually so I asked Santa for a sewing machine. andTHEN? I opened the box and saw all the attachments and got a little overwhelmed. Good thing my Mom shows up on Thursday and can probably show me how to thread…
If I’d written a Christmas letter this year, this it what it would say
Also known as, our year in review… The year started off colder than usual for Louisiana and in January I made a trip with the baby to meet up with Lisa in Houston. We ate cupcakes and shared some great “friend” time. It was a lovely little trip. In February we experienced our first Louisiana…
