I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Crazy Kwanzaa, what-have-you!
We spent a good chunk of the days around Christmas traveling and, let me tell you, I’m not a very good passenger. (Or maybe I’m an awesome passenger, depending on your perspective.)
There’s just something about riding in a car for any length of time [...]
Today’s post is brought to you by Tales From the Dad Side. SciFi Dad posted random facts about his Christmas tree with the premise that he has “always found that a family’s Christmas tree can tell a story, or many stories”. I couldn’t agree more, so let’s see what my tree says, shall we?

I know Thanksgiving always gets the shaft, much like children born in late December, but seriously, I’m so excited for Christmas this year!
We’ve never done much for the holidays in the past; nobody was ever really home since we all had family to visit. A few years ago, I started putting a little mini-tree on [...]

This year, we’re actually doing something. I even have [...]

Happy Mother’s Day weekend! I hope you’re pampered and spoiled as you deserve to be!
(And yes, I’m talking about you!)

I hope everyone had a great Christmas!
Mine was pretty spectacular, minus a few bumps along the way.

Merry Christmas to Everyone!
or, Happy Holidays!
or, Happy Festivus!
No matter what you celebrate…
I hope you’re surrounded by the ones you love.
