Start 2010 with a new organizational habit Are you ready to flip the calendar? Ready or not, 2010 is upon us.

New Year’s Treats: Simple Turtles
Posted by Marsha | 0 comments
When I think of New Year’s Eve, I think back to my childhood where we’d have another family (or two) over and party at home. We’d ring in the new year with board games, laughter and LOTS of snacks. Since Christmas required an abundance of cooking, I say we hit the easy button when it comes to New...

Can you believe this is our last I Spy of 2009? This year has really flown by! It’s the time of year for reflection and thankfulness.

My daughter received a doll house for Christmas complete with family and furniture. I wish she received a time machine instead, so the hours this toy has scattered across the house could be retrieved. Grandpa hides in a vase. Grandma faints under the couch.

Over thirteen years ago, someone contacted my husband and I about helping with the Christmas Eve service at church. They wanted to set up a manger scene and were looking for a couple with a baby to walk to the manger in appropriate dress and portray Joseph and Mary while having their baby lie in the manger. Of course, being in...
