Dashing Through The Snow...
I've been really busy this month with our kids' activities, workload and preparing for the Christmas season. My thought process was if I get everything done early, I'll actually be able to sit and enjoy the pre Christmas festivities. So I've been:
Decorating inside and outside of the house with lots of lights and candles…(since this photo was taken we've gotten a lot more snow and the temperature has dropped considerably, brrrr.)
Shopping for presents, for everyone and myself…
Wrapping those presents…
Baking for our daughter's cookie decorating party tomorrow after school…
And writing my guest post about Christmas traditions (and planning the giveaway!) for Steph's blog on December 20th.
I hope that your season has been especially merry and filled with the wonderful spirit that only comes this time of year!

Earthquakes, Spring Fashion & Lemonade Pie
It's been crazy in our little Midwestern town. We've had everyone from CNN to Fox News here reporting on the minor earthquake that has the people buzzing. The strange booming noises and shakes that started last Sunday night have the conspiracy theorists talking about everything from hidden bunkers to aliens! Yikes!
Even though Juno, the English Mastiff is pretty laid back, the strongest of the shakes did wake her up this past Monday night!
But aside from all the drama, our family was able to taste test a recipe from Pinterest; Pink Lemonade Pie. Yum. It was fabulous.
I've also started thinking about spring dresses and summer fashion since it's been unseasonably warm here (we're talking 70s to 80s, in March!) Talk about madness!
Don't you love this spring dress from H&M? Check out my other Spring pins on Pinterest.
Hope everyone else has had a less hectic week than our family! Enjoy your weekend!
Congrats to Shari Lynne who won the Re-tie giveaway! I'll be contacting you via email with details!

The Last Days Of Summer
As we venture into the last days of summer, we just returned from our annual trip from "up north" where we gathered with 11 couples and their kids. That was a total of 43 people. That's a lot of people.
 |
| This was taken by my 13 year old daughter. She's getting good at photography. |
Husband and I both agree that every day we have an opportunity to learn, to do good, to be better. Watching other parents interact with their children, watching husbands and wives interact, watching how kids whose ages range from four to seventeen all get along is amazing. Yup, there's a lesson there.
So anyway, we say goodbye to the hustle and bustle of Little League, softball, Vacation Bible School, summer piano lessons and linger into our next goals; school supply shopping and registration. Back to school, back to work. It was a busy time and we're happy to laze around enjoying the last days of summer vacation.
Congratulations to Erika K comment #29 (picked through Random.org) I'll be emailing you!
