Each year, we swap where we spend our Christmas. Last year was Utah, so this year was local. And as much as I missed my side of the family, it was fun to spend Christmas Day it with lots of kids because they really do make the magic. It’s always great for us to see…

Some Holiday Shopping
I don’t like shopping at the last minute. And by “last-minute” I mean any holiday gift shopping after December 15th. I just like having it organized and getting all the packages sent at a reasonable time so its off my plate and my recipients actually get things before Christmas Day. I pride myself on good…
The Grove for Christmas Lights
It was a Wednesday afternoon. I had to return some things at Zara and Nordstrom. I knew if we went to the stores at The Grove in LA, we’d at least see some Christmas lights. Since I’m working on my holiday cheer, I thought it might be fun to make an evening out of it!…
It's Beginning to Look a Tiny Bit Like Christmas
I’ve always felt that there are two types of people in the world. Those who looooove Christmas, and those who just tolerate it. I’ve always considered myself a big fan, but I do have a confession to make. For the past 4 years or so, my Christmas cheer has been barely peeking it’s nose out to…

And...Christmas!
It was lovely. Enjoyed everything about it. It went by too fast. We have one more Christmas party, New Years and BAM, the holidays are done. 🙁
Grateful
This Thanksgiving was so much fun, I honestly forgot to take time and reflect on all I was thankful for. Lame! But I guess I can say I’m really thankful for these good times! They help pull me through what I have called a “rough year”. Of course, every year has its own challenges, but…
Holiday Card...
We shot our holiday card this weekend. It was super fun. And we got it done early for a change. Usually we shoot like 2 weeks before Christmas and then it’s a mad dash to get it out on time. Now, I can’t tell you what it is, but I think you will like it.…
