My husband HATES it when we match. Hate is such a strong word…so maybe I should say: strongly-dislikes-it-and-will-go-change-when-it-accidentally-happens. Don’t believe me? In this picture, he didn’t have time to change. Look at that face. I don’t know what it is. Maybe something happened in childhood that scarred him? Oh wait. Maybe I’m actually thinking of my
I remember going to India during Christmas as a child. I was very, very young and remember very little about the trip, but I do remember this simple Christmas decoration. It was a paper lantern in the shape of a star. The star was perforated so that you could place a light inside that would shine through the small openings. To my young
Decorating the Christmas tree. Baking cookies with friends. Watching Christmas movies. These are a few of our family’s favorite traditions during this season.

Maybe you’ve also heard that our rookie quarterback, Dak Prescott, isn’t playing like a rookie and is leading our team to a record breaking kind of season?! And guess what else he does? He throws away his own trash. Hopefully, I didn’t lose you when I
My Favorite Post: My Family My daughter is the younger of my two children. She is a really funny kid- she is a ball of energy. She talks all the time- there is a running narrative of her thoughts. She wants to tell me everything. It gets more passionate as she becomes tired (I don’t know
Family reunions. Feasting on scrumptious dishes. Fun, fun, fun! It’s the holiday season and for most, a joyous time of year. As a teenager looking forward to Thanksgiving, I remember when our family received a phone call that changed our lives forever. My Dad’s sister had been in a terrible car accident and was airlifted
