As with everything, all good things must come to an end. And the year two-thousand twelve is no different. It is amazing the reality that time flies and in this case a year, a whole three-hundred sixty-six days {leap year} has come to a close. It was a good year for me and my kiddo, with…
When you can’t beat them, then you better get your snow pants on, suit up and join them! For a Snow day that is. I know it was a Saturday, but it made for a great day to play in the snow. It truly was a winter wonderland. There was the adult shoveling event {though…
During the Christmas break, I took the opportunity to view the Photography exhibit by Annie Liebovitz at the Wexner Center for the Arts today. The exhibit only lasts through Sunday December 30th, 2012 so if you are thinking about it, you need to make time this weekend. No photography is allowed, only open minds and inspirational…
Just Two Days before Christmas, I had kicked my feet up relaxing and enjoying the next forty-eight hours until christmas Day. The laundry was done, the grocery shopping complete, the house cleaned and presents wrapped. So I settled in to read a few frequent blogs and came across this super easy Lemon Sugar Scrub at 2…
Where has the time gone? I mean really, just last week we were swimming at the pool, hanging with friends and soaking up the hot summer sun. And riding a titanium flying creature at our school’s festival. Fast forward to today, December 23rd and suddenly we are just two days until Christmas. Just two days to get any last-minute shopping done, just…

Me and my kiddo: Driving to school all while listening to a Columbus Zoo commercial about their new hunka hunka burning love Nanuq (the male stud Polar bear) on loan. {Commercial talking about the hope for new baby polar bears while Nanuq is on loan}. Kiddo: Mom, do animals get married? Me {thinking in my head}: Ah…
As I mentioned in the post Christmas Elf on the Shelf Silly Antics, Chrissy and Elvin planned and plotted an Elf on the Shelf North Pole Party. There was so much anticipation and excitement waiting for the start of the party. There was…well, food and boy did we eat! And ….we toasted to a great lunch! Then came time…
We too have an Elf (on the Shelf) that comes to live with us during the Holiday season. Our elf first visited us last year when my kiddo continued to ask Santa for his very own elf. Our home continues to be filled with the belief of Santa and all the magic of Christmas. I understand the premise of…
Since it is the season for everything red suits and black boots, jolly happy men with long white beards, and chants of Ho Ho Ho, I thought it only fitting that I post these images of my kiddo. Christmas past…circa 2006 Hanging with Santa Claus; circa 2007 And I just love this one …talking it up with the bearded man…
