Our dog, Walter does a lot of things. Here are just a few… This has been a silly post, so what’s the point? (Not that there always has to be a point to all our posts. Sometimes we may share something “just because”.) However, I’ve shared pictures of our dog Walter because he truly enriches ourContinue reading “{What Enriches Your Life?}”

{Holiday Homes Tour}
This HoLiDaY Scott and I were asked if we would participate in our town’s Holiday Homes Tour to help raise money for a non-profit animal shelter, called the Castaways. How could we say “No”? WaLtEr our chocolate lab is a rescue dog. So here is a sample of what people saw on the tour: Kitchen #2. InContinue reading “{Holiday Homes Tour}”
Smile at a Stranger
Last week my friend Anne lost her husband after a tough BaTtLe with cancer. They had just celebrated their son’s first birthday and through it all Anne managed to stay upbeat, positive, and grateful for their time together as a family. The night before her husband passed she wrote, “Hug your loved ones and smileContinue reading “Smile at a Stranger”

{Subscribers–if your email link did not work today, we apologize. Tomorrow it should be back up and running!} Our family is planning a BiG trip to Disneyworld this summer!

{Mean People}
You can call them “the Scrooge”, “the Grinch”, or “MeAn PeOpLe”. We all either know of some or come across them from time to time. And for whatever reason it seems that their antics are more AnNoYiNg during the holiday season. Maybe that’s because their negative persona is in stark contrast to the cheer and joy of the Christmas season.Continue reading “{Mean People}”

I Love You Anyway
This past week the phrase “I Love You Anyway” became a popular saying in our house. I did something that I knew disappointed my husband. Feeling terrible after I saw the let down on his face I asked, “But you love me anyway, right?” He replied, “Of CouRse.” Then a few days later, my daughter broke oneContinue reading “I Love You Anyway”
{Banana.Nut.Bread} “Half-Baked”
I LoVe banana-nut bread. LoVe It! I don’t think I would put it in my top 3 favorites, but it’s up there. However, when it comes to waiting for it to come out of the oven it tops ALL. I just can’t help but to keep opening up the oven door, checking to see if itContinue reading “{Banana.Nut.Bread} “Half-Baked””
Mental Picture
I don’t know how many times I’ve been in a situation where I left my camera at home and I wasn’t able to cAptUre that perfect picture of my kids. I kick myself for not being more prepared, but it seems that even in “prepared” situations, the mOmEnt can pass you by before getting out theContinue reading “Mental Picture”
