Merry Christmas!
"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."

Giving Our Treasures at Christmas
I love Christmas Eve. It's probably my favorite day of the year, even over Christmas Day. When I was growing up, on Christmas Eve we always ate Senate Bean Soup, Peppermint punch and as many Christmas cookies as we could stand. Then my sister and I entertained the family with our annual Christmas program of music,… Continue reading Giving Our Treasures at Christmas

I now have my… Continue reading Green and Gold: Traditional Christmas Table

Taking a moment to laugh
Last night I found myself completely annoyed and out of sorts...trying to make an ugly Christmas sweater, of all things. I had this grand idea of attaching green ornaments to a sweater in the shape of a Christmas tree, but anyone who knows me is aware that sewing projects (even of the simplest nature) never… Continue reading Taking a moment to laugh
Festive Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
Have you ever had such a deep craving for a freshly baked dessert that you searched Pinterest based on what you had in your pantry? My sister and I do this all the time! Recently I found myself with a Devil's Food cake mix and very few other baking items. Good ole' Pinterest! I found… Continue reading Festive Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
