Happy 2011! Here’s a glimpse into my week.
1. Monday, we were back on our home school schedule. I don’t think my five-year old was ready to crack the books just yet…would do you think? Continue reading
Yesterday, I reviewed our family’s budget and realized I needed to get back on track with my grocery spending. My jeans are also telling me I need to cut out the Christmas cookies and find some more healthy snacks. Continue reading
For me, the new year symbolizes a fresh start, full of promise and hope. As the busyness of Christmas draws to a close, it is a time to reflect on past accomplishments and failures. It is a time to evaluate myself, and try to be a better person; a new me.
I hope you are enjoying the 12 Days of Christmas. Traditionally known as Christmastide, these twelve days start on December 25th and end on the evening of January 5th, Twelfth Night. The next day celebrates Epiphany, when the Magi visited the baby Jesus. Growing up, Epiphany marked the end of the Christmas season and the day our tree or other decorations came down.
Here are some of my 2010 Christmas favorites…
1. The snow began to fall on Christmas evening. When I woke up the next day, it was still falling and continued to do so all day. On Monday, my husband measured 14 inches of snow in our backyard. My girls absolutely loved it. To me, it was a magical, and beautiful late Christmas gift.
Here is my oldest daughter having fun with her Daddy. It rarely snows in Tidewater Virginia, and NEVER this much at Christmastime. I know this will be a special memory for her. Speaking of memories, today is my Mother’s birthday. She would have been 77 years old. In honor of her special day, please read this.
Happy Birthday, Mom, you are so much a part of me.
