School Parties
I hate school parties. Yes, I said it. As I finished putting together the Dollar Store valentines for my kids, I was reminded how grateful I am for women who are different than me.

New Year’s Eve Traditions
When I was a kid, my Gran had awesome New Year’s Eve parties for all her friends and neighbors. She would always make punch in her crystal punch bowl. Our neighbor, Faye, would bring bbq lil smokies.

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas…
We did a bit of Christmas decorating and baking over the last few weeks. First up, Ty and Braun thought it would be fun to make a tumbleweed tree in the front yard. I like to call it our West Texas Christmas Tree. It actually does look pretty with all the lights on it! TheContinue reading “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas…”
Gran’s Nativity
There are a handful of items I inherited from my Gran that are really important to me. One of those is her Nativity set.
