Tag Archives: holidays Did you spend too much? Did you eat too much? Did you try to do too much? Now that Christmas is over, it’s normal to feel a little bummed by the lack of routine and balance that has crept up on us. And that can make us feel just plain SAD. But! Turn that frown…

 Today is that day we all celebrate the season of giving. This year, I am spending a majority of the day alone. My hubby is deployed and my family lives far away. I could spend the WHOLE day with my fabulous in-laws (who I love very much), but at the same time, I just… My husband Sgt Mat Mcginnis is deploied rite and gosh do I miss him, this is my first deployment but not his.  It’s FRIDAY!..Before CHRISTMAS! Are you ready? Finished decorating? Finished shopping? Let’s have a completely vulnerable virtual moment here: I want to invite each of you into my home, c’mon in…I’ll be there to greet you at the front door with a cup of hot cocoa, some leftover chicken & dumplings and some fuzzy slippers (no… Our tree is all pretty on top in golds, greens, browns with a woodland/bird theme. And on the bottom are all the fun unbreakable ornaments for the little ones. So the story I am telling is of a mom who is trying to hang on to some semblance of beautiful style while still appealing to the fun, magical, hands-on side of Christmas for her kids! Leslie, that is absolutely priceless! Love this…and making a mental note for when we have kids. Merry Christmas friend!:) Thanks for sharing April!

I had to read this comment 3 times before I could advance past the “dove mistaken for a dead seagull” comment!! Love that you add something every year…this is something we’ll need to do to help “fill out” our sparse tree and hoping that something fun will jump out at me when the sales season starts. Merry Christmas to you & your family! Christmas in my family is organized chaos. Okay, I take that back: it can be chaos itself. I sometimes think of us as a My Big Fat Greek Wedding family, except we’re little part-Filipinos. There are entire closets containing decorations that need to be set up, hours of shopping and wrapping presents to be done,… Hi lovely Army Wife (& Dude) peeps – checking in for a quick update from the lobby of our hotel in El Paso (joining my husband on his TDY travel)… This is a wonderful, no-strings-attached, offer that’s been brought to my attention: FREE SHIPPING DAY! Sounds intriguing and almost as magical as 12.12.12., no? Here… |
