Christmas has been over for….well, long enough. I really should have shared these pictures by now, but as soon as we got home from our holiday trip to Florida, kids got sick, there were tasks to take care of and deadlines to meet. So here I am, after New Years, sharing our Christmas morning pictures….
What I Miss About Vacation
I slept in this morning, as I like to do on New Years Day. Our New Years Eve celebrations included eating ice cream and watching movies in the comfort of our basement family room. Three of our five kids were scattered around town, and we simply enjoyed the quiet. This morning, though, I was still…
Top 10 Things I Learned on Vacation
I am home. I survived two 17 hour car trips with 5 kids and a husband. I successfully left my blog to it’s own devices and took a true break. A vacation! And I am back home, looking forward to a glorious night sleep in my own bed. Taking a break from blogging is the…
Christmas on the Beach – GMYBS/PSF
I’ve been singing “I’ve been dreaming of a white Christmas” since I learned how to talk. Not only is it a beautiful song, but it comes from my favorite Christmas movie. But I don’t believe it at all. I’d take a colorful Christmas, with warm air and a cool breeze any day. I hope you’re…
Long Drives Elicite Random Thoughts
First of all, I wouldn’t recommend trying to blog after spending 17 hours in a car. It doesn’t work very well. You know you’re tired and loopy when you stop at a gas station and see a Blockbuster video store, point and say, “Look! It’s a dinosaur!” I swear I meant to say Blockbuster, and…
Surviving Long Car Trips With Kids
If you are reading this, then you can, with sympathies, imagine me in a packed-to-the-brim mini van with 5 active kids. We’re on our way to spend the holidays with Nana and Grandpap in Florida. Whenever anybody hears that we are crazy enough to drive 18 hours with 7 people packed in a car, they…
Where’s Lolli?
In the spirit of Christmas and the great Waldo, here’s a little Where’s Lolli? holiday photo. May you have a wonderful holiday, whether you celebrate Christmas like us or another Winter holiday. May your week be enjoyable and the last few days of 2010 the best of the year. If you haven’t heard me chatting…
Teaching Kids the Spirit of Giving, Not Receiving
As soon as Halloween is over, the Christmas decorations slowly make their way out in every store. By the time Thanksgiving is here, Christmas has officially taken over retail, television, and radio. Soon our neighborhoods are also reminders of the Holiday season. It’s hard to leave the house or tune in to anything outside your…
Link Up Your Giveaways 12/19
Who is done shopping for Christmas? I think I’m done, but only because our big gift to the kids this year is a trip to Florida to visit Nana and Grandpap (and the dogs and the beach). If you’ve still got a few things left on your wishlist, be sure to stop by the giveaways…
The Best Christmas Craft Project Ever!
My kids and I traditionally decorate our Christmas tree together each December. This year, however, we took decorating the Christmas tree to a whole new level and created something that we will hopefully be keeping around as a Christmas decoration for years to come. We were sent a recycled cardboard Christmas tree from Cascades Boutique…
