Worthy of Rest

My husband just kissed me goodbye before he left to shop for my Christmas stocking. I was reading about being worthy of rest and how some of is equate rest with laziness and disrespect. As he headed toward the door he said, “Enjoy your relaxing morning”. The passage in the book I was reading related…

Tea Time

This week has been eventful as in full of events. It has been wonderful laughing, eating, and stealing gifts at holiday parties. And, today after 41 years of life, I finally got to have a fancy afternoon tea. I almost talked myself out of going today. Honestly, I almost talked myself out of two of…

Breakfast for Dinner

Last night we had breakfast for dinner courtesy of leftovers from a brunch book exchange event I attended earlier in the day. Ian asked, “Who doesn’t love breakfast for dinner?” The answer is absolutely no one, Everyone loves breakfast for dinner . . . EVERYONE. It was the perfect little treat-like celebration as Ian successfully…

West Side Story Weekend

Inspired by the release of the new West Side Story this week, my husband and I went to see a movie in the theatre for the first time in two years. Understanding my love for musicals, my husband proclaimed we would have a musical weekend, so we did. We watched West Side Story, Dear Evan…

‘Tis the Season

Christmas feels off this year. I haven’t put out any decorations. We don’t have any big plans. I have gotten some cards and gift boxes in the mail and only have a few more things to get to complete boxes for my family. I still haven’t really figured out what I am getting for Ian…

This image and the words really resonated today because it aligns so clearly with what I am trying to do in…

Hot Donuts and Cold Coffee

I went to a farmers market for the first time in months today. Over the past few months, I have found a San A I really like and just haven’t felt the need to make the trip to an extra store. On the way, I stopped at a Lawson to see if I could find…

It Will Be Heavenly

4:17am. It seems as of late, regardless of when I go to sleep or intend on getting out of bed, that I wake up at 4:17am. Most weekdays, this means I have 28 minutes before the alarm goes off to alert me that I need to get out of bed, let the dogs out, feed…

Presents for my Sister and her Family

Today I boxed about 75% of the Christmas gifts I will ship to my sister and her family. One of the most fun things I get to do is fill boxes with random and foreign goodies, and then get a full report on them when they are received. The first box I sent to my…
