Christmas Aftermath

  Christmas in our house was beautiful. I, along with my brother and sister-in-law cooked the feast. We opened presents, told stories, laughed, drank, and were merry. As much as I love Christmas every year, there is such a big sigh of relief after the dinner is done, the presents are opened, and everyone has [...]

Merry Christmas

Hope you all have a good one. I will be back in a few days to share some pictures from our festivities!

It’s the Final Countdown

So I woke up Friday morning realizing that this was the last weekend before Christmas. Now it is Sunday, no more weekends before Christmas. I had a huge list of things I wanted to accomplish or finish before Christmas. It was stressing me out. I am hosting my first Christmas this year, and though it [...]

Cotton Ball Snow Wall

I saw a snow wall made with cotton balls on Pinterest a few weeks back and decided I would make my own. I didn’t even click through the link (or save it for that matter), because it is such an easy little project. It sure does make the room look lovely and festive. I haven’t [...]

Birthday Shopping

Tomorrow is my birthday. 29 years old. For some reason I keep getting ahead of myself and have 30 in my head. Maybe this is a good thing, I have a year to prepare for the big 3-0. Anyway, I wanted to buy some stuff today. All the Christmas shopping I have (or haven’t) been [...]

Snow and an Outfit

The days have been getting considerably cooler here. I know to those of you in more Northern regions 60 degrees probably sounds downright tropical right about now, but here in San Diego it sure feels chilly! Over the weekend I got an e-mail from an old family friend (who was my pre-school teacher!), and it [...]

Gifts and Stuff

First I want to thank you all for your amazing responses regarding my last post on vegetarianism. I plan to do a follow up post as soon as I have the time, but I just had to say that all your sweet comments provided a lot of clarity to me regarding the situation. I seem [...]
