The end is here.

The Christmas holidays are over. Rob had an extra long weekend for Christmas break (4 days). But tomorrow they’re over and he has to return to work. Even though the 2 of those days were complete chaos it has been nice having him home and not thinking about work. It has been so wonderful having […]

I would have written about this yesterday but at our house Christmas doesn’t end till really late. Even the boys were up late last night. They didn’t get to bed until about11pm last night which […]

How do they do it?

Every year for about a decade now I have told myself that this Christmas I will be done early. That I won’t be shopping days before Christmas. That I will wrap things ahead so that I am not up past midnight Christmas eve. And every year it comes down to the wire. This year is […]

The magic is gone.

Warning not for young children. I am not about to say anything horrible but I am going to talk about Santa and I would hate to make a child sad. In our house we don’t have Santa as a part of Christmas. What I mean by that is he doesn’t bring presents to the kids […]

Update.

So. Yesterday Rob had to go into work and as he was leaving he called me to tell me he was on his way home, he does this all the time. We just chit chat about things as he drive home (don’t worry he uses the hands free). Well last night as he was driving […]

Thank you! I will treasure your kindness.

Below is a copy of all of the birthday wishes I had posted on my Facebook wall today (well some were last night). I have copied them here so that I have a record of them and am able to look back and feel the love I felt today. A lot of these people I […]

The count down is on.

I always find that once December 13th gets here Christmas comes even faster. It feels like you blink and it is here. I am so not ready. I haven’t bought my turkey yet. Heck I haven’t even finished my gift shopping. I still have about 5 people left to buy for. Ugh it passes so […]

The master of munching.

Last night Aly graduated to “Real Food”. She will be 6 months old on Friday and has been eating rice and oatmeal cereal for over 2 months now (she hates the rice cereal not that I blame her). When ever anyone has food near her she will stare at them and if she gets the […]
