Peace on Earth (Starts with Peace at Home)
December 16, 2011
Do you feel it? The slowing of days. Last year was a wonderful December. The year before that was pretty relaxed also, having determined early on that I would let go of perfection - in handmades, in decorating, in pulling "it all" off. But this year takes the cake. If ...

December 15, 2011
I struggled to publish that post on Sunday night. But after four days (now going on eight) of domestic contentment & joy (dare I say bliss? I try not to overuse that word) I just couldn't hold back the dam any longer. I seems almost manic, swinging as I did ...

Let It Snow ~ All The Moments Continued...
December 9, 2011
Yesterday was just one of those days. A day filled to the brim with the life we've dreamed of living. After Wednesday I needed a day like this. I feel kind of silly sharing all the goodness with you - like I'm bragging or something, which I'm not. But I ...
