As pink fades to white, the calendar turns from October to November. We celebrated and honored breast cancer survivors last month…pink ribbons were everywhere spreading awareness of the disease. But did you know that November is lung cancer awareness month and that white is the ribbon color for this cancer that is the number one […]
digital detox
Where have I been? Perhaps you have “missed” my presence on social media lately…OR maybe you haven’t. I know a few of you have. I received some texts and emails asking if everything was okay. It felt good to be missed, so thank you to those who reached out to check on me. Just before […]
sour cream cookies
Sour Cream Cookies These are one of Claire’s very favorite cookies, and I’ve never made them before. My mom always makes them for the holidays, and Claire gets her “fill” of them at her house. She ate so many of them last year that her stomach began to hurt…definitely too much of a good […]
white elephant breakfast
Last week I had the fun task of hosting Breakfast Club! This is a group of neighborhood moms who get together every other Thursday for coffee and conversation. It is very casual…some stop by for a quick coffee on their way to work, some join in later in the morning after they’ve worked out for […]
holiday cards
One of my favorite things about this time of year is sending and receiving holiday cards. Our entire family enjoys going through the mail every evening and looking at the cards that arrived that day! Even though we keep up with most of our out-of-town friends and family on social media these days, it is […]
gift wrapping
I love wrapping gifts! There, I said it…I know some people do not enjoy that task, but I do. I think it is because one of my mottos is “it’s all about the presentation.” You can take a simple gift card and make it feel special in the way it is wrapped and presented to […]
front door holiday decorations
I am so excited to share my front door decorations with you today! Maybe because so many of you were giving me positive feedback when I shared snippets of it over on INSTAGRAM. I must tell you that I’ve been planning some of it since last December. When Claire and I were in Chicago for […]
holiday snacks for those who deliver our packages
Today is Cyber Monday! I’ve told my daughters that there was no such day when I was growing up…we had no internet and therefore, no online shopping. Whatever did we do before online shopping, I’m not sure… I became a huge online shopper twelve years ago…the year that Claire was born. She arrived on Thanksgiving […]
holiday gift ideas
How many of you have started your holiday shopping? Anyone finished? I like to be on the early side of it…I usually start around Halloween and try to have it finished the first week of December. Then I can enjoy the rest of the month, without so much stress. That’s my plan every year, anyway…sometimes […]
my christmas staircase
Well hello, it’s been a while! As you may remember, I had surgery in September and I’ve been enjoying a slower pace of life. So slow, in fact, that I’ve had a few readers ask if I’m going to return to blogging. Wow…did that make me feel great! It’s nice to know that I’ve been […]
