A few days ago, I asked a question in my Facebook group: I wanted to know when people put up their Christmas decorations. I figured it might be a bit of a divisive topic, so I quietly sat back and watched the responses roll in. As I expected, there were multiple views on the topic, but thankfully I seem to have a wonderful group of friends and readers, and the conversation stayed civil and respectful. (Thank you! <3) As soon as November 1st hits the debate about when it’s “appropriate” to decorate for the upcoming holidays begins… and I feel like it has intensified every year as I’ve watched from…

I had to spend some time in a waiting room this morning, but thankfully there was a TV to keep me occupied. Normally these places seem to only play the news or the like, (except my awesome dentist who plays Ellen) but this office won the day: The Price is Right was on.

He was half asleep, but he wrapped his little arms…

I had to tear myself away from my book to come and write tonight. I’m deep into this month’s book club book, and for the life of me, I cannot figure the mystery out. It’s so twisty and turny and I loooooove it. Today was actually a pretty great day. It was cold, wet and rainy which I did not love, but I had a much needed home day and it was so nice. I’ve worked the past two days, and by day 3 (in a row) it seems like everyone in the house feels it. S’s shoulders sag a little when she learns I have to run out the…
