Christmas Cheer to Last the Year

Can it be true?  Has my holiday marathon of cooking, cleaning, decorating, sewing, crafting, shopping, wrapping, shipping, and hosting finally come to an end?  Exhausting?  Perhaps.  Busy?  Overwhelming?  You know, I can honestly say that this season felt more “full” than it did anything else…full of smiles and hugs, full of delicious food & drink, […]

Easter! I Miss You Already

Anybody else survive an ultra-packed Easter weekend extravaganza? Whew! What happened to buckling up my white patent leather mary jane’s at 6am, snoozing through the sunrise hymns, staining my nose with lily pollen, and celebrating the resurrection of Christ with a simple, understated plate full of deviled eggs? Ah, but such is the life of […]
