I’m not sure about you, but I have a HARD time putting away my Christmas cards – much less THROWING them away! They are so special to me. I love to walk by the wall that I display them on and pause and reflect on each family. In years past, it would drive my husband […]
For most of the kiddos around the greater Houston area, today is the last day of school before holiday break. After school today, they will be given the much anticipated gift of time away from homework and tests to soak up some quality family time and enjoy this wondrous season with everyone they love the […]
Our Cookie Baking Tradition Growing up in Houston, we never had family close by. All of our grandparents, cousins, aunts, and uncles lived out of state. It was always nice to travel and see them, which we did every Thanksgiving, but Christmas was always spent at home with just our little family. Thankfully, our little […]

Some of my most treasured memories as a child are these special moments with our family. But I have to […]

So in order to get into the Christmas spirit without actually having to do too much, my sister and I decided we would create and hang stockings. We’ve stuck with […]
Wow! Jenn had some AMAZING activities to really bring the holidays to life with the little ones in Part 1 of this fun series yesterday. Not sure how I will ever be able to top that, but I’ll make a feeble attempt at it… Winter has always been a really hard concept to teach children […]
People keep mentioning how short the season between Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day is this year, and as we check day after day off the calendar, I might just agree. After traveling ‘home’ to Louisiana for a Thanksgiving with family, we very quickly traded pumpkins for evergreen and transformed our home into as much of […]
