Christmas Cards
Writing out my Christmas cards this year, I’m having thoughts on what family means and what it means to give out cards.
Take a Perfection Break in December
I love the way careful empowering ideas and inklings spread in my online communities. This week what I heard was slow down. Perhaps we need to agree to take the month off together. Yes, I am still the event planner for December and that is a lot of work in and of itself. So maybe…
We Are All Event Planners for Christmas
If you were told you’d been volunteered as an event planner and decorator for a royal ball, you’d laugh your butt off right? But regular people across the globe will do their best to plan and execute a special event all on their own this month mostly without professional help. And I’m darn proud of…
My Christmas Tree Fell Down
I was so proud I got my Christmas decorations up in enough time to enjoy them for two weeks before Christmas proper. But I plum forgot that I had intended to redesign my Christmas tree. So that when the decorations came out of the boxes, I was less than thrilled. “Oh those”my inner child said….

The Hurry and The Hush
I am a recovering Energizer Bunny. I’ve been called that, yes. My therapist referred to this “life coping technique” as Industrious Over-focused. I’m getting it all done, covering all my bases in a hurry just in case I need to prove why I’m worthy of keeping around I suppose. The Perfect Holiday is an easy…
Hallelujah it’s Halloween 2016
And lastly, Halloween wraps up my month straight of posts in October, 2016. I used to really celebrate this holiday when I was younger. Even way into my 30’s, Mark and I had a great time dressed as a pirate and his cabin boy. And a pimento loaf and cheese sandwich. Kids came and its…
Halloween Eve Decorations
A not so little boy asked if we could pull out the Halloween decorations please? I told him no. But that was because I planned to do it today and, of course, it’s all up in the attic. So while he was off on a field trip today and Fiona was napping, I threw some…

Day Of the Dead Art
Just say yes to more pictorial fun for the Halloween Holiday. For this final day, I thought I’d do a little, or large, tribute to the Day of the Dead. What the heck is it you ask? Here’s an official sounding blurb I copied to explain it. Day of the Dead (Spanish: Día de Muertos)…
Easter Birthday Earth Day Holiday Weekend
This past weekend was the Spring Break, Easter, Eamon’s Birthday, and Earth Day weekend. It was a 4 ½ day extravaganza of playing, egg hunting, and family visiting. I had done all of my house cleaning and blog prepping and I actually was able to enjoy myself for a couple of days. We ate and…
