Merry Christmas (Eve)!

If it looks like we have a lot of gifts under the tree, you have to remember that in the month of December, I basically wrap anything I would’ve bought anyhow – dish soap, shampoo, the empty box for the slippers I bought because I needed them in September – and use those things to […]

Saturday Snap – Daddy-Daughter Night

Shea had a very long day and Pace is both pretty introverted and a stereotypical teenager so it’s hard to get him out of the house at the best of times. That meant Sasha and I had a daddy-daughter date to The Artesian’s “Holiday Sing-a-long” Thursday night which was great fun.

Saturday Snap – Elfis?

Last year, we gave in and bought a stupid Dollar Store “Elf on a Shelf” rip-off to move around every night for Sasha. Turned out it was actually kind of fun coming up with scenarios and jokes for the little guy and I might’ve got more enjoyment out of it than she did! This year, […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Christmas Traditions (December 2007)

Feeling sentimental knowing we won’t have Christmas here this year, I was looking through my oldest photos for a picture of one of our first Christmases at our current house. Unfortunately, since we bought our house in 2004 and our first digital camera in 2006 (and all our old-school photo albums are in boxes somewhere), […]

Music Monday – “Ah, home, let me come home/Home is wherever I’m with you”

I think I’ve probably posted this old viral video before but as we prep to move into our new house, it felt appropriate for a few reasons – the title “Home” obviously but also for how it reminds me of Sasha who’s increasingly into music and has taken to making up her own songs to […]

“You ar a good liberein”

Shea and I did a pretty major weeding of our kids’ book collections recently and I ended up giving a bunch to one of the teachers who regularly comes into my library (who also happens to teach at the school my kids go to so I have a soft spot for that school to begin […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Christmas Card House (December 2014)

It’s not quite “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” level decorating and I really should’ve gotten my butt up a ladder and extended the lights in that cedar tree in the front of our house right to the top. But I’ve always liked coming home to a snow-filled yard, some green and red floodlights, a blow-up decoration […]
