Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

This Christmas season was busy, but good. I didn’t feel overwhelmed, and I felt prepared. There were a few little things that didn’t get done, but overall… it was a good day.

What I Am Into – September 2013

What I Am Into – September 2013

What I Am Into – September 2013 edition I was inspired by Hippie Housewife to do this. Link over to Hopeful Leigh to see more. Ah, September. It’s been a mostly beautiful month, the end of a relatively cool but still humid summer. The month just flew past as we re-settled into life after our huge road trip in August. Summers are always a flurry of traveling and birthdays, and the falls are filled with events and festivals, and getting…
