Holidays with Dani: an overdue update

December 20, 2020 ~ Tara R. ~ 2 Comments

Issy photobomb... I didn't notice her until I viewed the photo for editing. Thanksgiving with Dani went even better than I hoped. We were a little concerned at first. It rained on the way to our daughter's so there was a possibility Asta and Dani would be inside, with all the people. It wasn’t a … Continue reading Holidays with Dani: an overdue update

The Mister and I went shopping over the weekend, our first foray into the holiday mania that is the Christmas Season. Up until then, we ticked off items on our wish lists piecemeal and mainly online. After only a few minutes in the hype and hordes, I remembered why I don’t like holiday gift shopping … Continue reading 100 Word Challenge: Shop

100 Word Challenge: Tradition

October 25, 2017December 21, 2017 ~ Tara R. ~ 5 Comments

A few friends were recently discussing holiday traditions and a new grandma asked for suggestions on what she could do for her new grandbabies, something that she could build on every year. Some of the possibilities included: A special ornament each season or making ornaments together New holiday pajamas to open on Christmas Eve Cultural … Continue reading 100 Word Challenge: Tradition
