Well, it’s that time again. The night where you have to make that resolution and try to stick to it for an entire year. Peggy & I have talked and we agreed that our resolution will be to drink a glass of red wine each day (or a couple of times a week) to keep [...]

I just got home from a fun night out with my friend Dawn. Instead of exchanging gifts this year, we chose to dine out and enjoy catching up on each other’s lives. With all that said, I have to tell you about the yummy drink we had. It was a Gingerbread Cookie Martini. Fab-u-lous! The martini [...]

The program lasted a half an hour with about ten different kids playing Christmas Carols. It was very nice and everyone did a [...]

Now that we’re living out of our downstairs family room, we’ve been watching more movies. We’re getting into the holiday spirit by choosing Christmas movies. Last night we watched Elf and tonight, one of my personal favorites, The Polar Express. I love the “Hot Chocolate” scene and the music that goes with it. It’s one [...]

Another week down, only six to go. This week we haven’t seen any changes in the kitchen but we sure could smell the change. They worked on staining the floor boards and putting primer on the wall. When we came home from school on Wednesday, the air was thick in here! I didn’t care that [...]
