    Holiday Card Winner!

    Oh goodness. This entire day just completely got away from me! This morning I loaded Ruby in the car and we took a drive up to Btown to spend the day with my family. I thought for sure that I’d have a few free minutes this morning to hammer this out, but it was just so busy. But it was the best kind of busy. :) We had our pre-Christmas get together, and it was a day of laughter, presents, food and togetherness. Have I mentioned lately how much I adore my family? Anyhoo. That’s not why you’re here, is it. This morning my handy dandy randomizer spit out the winner…

    Giveaway: 25 Holiday Cards!

Attached was a card that wished us a Merry Christmas, signed simply from “Your Friends”. As my grinch heart grew three sizes in that minute, I immediately regretted my immediate angry…

The Hubs, Ruby & I will be heading to the Great White North to spend the holidays with my 97 year old Grandmother, so my immediate family won’t all be together. We thought it would be fun to get together for a day before so that we could at least all see each other and hang out during our favourite season. (And eat really, really ridiculous amounts of glorious food.) So, because my siblings will be opening their gifts early,…

    Sunday Funday*

    I love Sundays. For me, it’s a day unlike any other in the week. Let me explain: To most of the people I know, Sundays are just an extension of the weekend. A “Second Saturday”, if you will. Saturdays are typically for unwinding after a long week, and Sundays are great to run errands and prep for the week ahead. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I’ve just always seen things a little differently. My faith isn’t something I typically openly talk about here. It is something deeply important and personal to me, and if you ask me about it–I’ll tell you whatever you want to know. But I…
