The Giver

I wrote a little bit about my cousin Anna's story here but haven't really mentioned it since. Not because it hasn't been the number 1 thing on my mind, but because I don't think this silly little blog could contain what Anna and her family, my family, have been dealing with. Life fo…

Five Things Friday

1. Adorable and simple Peppermint Hot Chocolate gifts for my co-workers. I got the idea from pinterest/my mom. I then used this free printable and added ribbon and a little bell to jazz it up.
2. A big bag of delicious Clementines sits on my desk. They are my favorite winer snack. Plus they're g…

1. Will you be hosting any house guests between now and the end of December? Does that thought make you happy or crazy? Do you do anything special to make your house guests feel welcome? How long should a guest stay?
This year I am st…

Goodbye November

1. Do you send out Christmas cards?
My parents send one every year, usually along with a Christmas letter detailing the past year's exploits. I love getting Christmas cards and will definitely send one out when I have my own family. Doesn't this below picture look like a Christmas card thoug…

Still Thankful

I am not going to limit the season of thanks to just one day. I am still thankful for so much and want to celebrate my blessings everyday! I am especially thankful that I got to spend the past week at home! It was a great little vacation and a wonderful holiday! It was also extra special because Pe…

Tonight

Tonight after work I am meeting my roomsky and some of her work friends for dinner and a happy hour before heading to the special early release showing of Breaking Dawn at 8pm.

Gettysburg & Snow?

On Friday Peter picked me up from work and we drove to Gettysburg, PA for the night. It's only about an hour and a half away and the traffic wasn't too terrible. We stayed at the historic Gettysburg Hotel which is right in the center of town. Friday night we just walked around the town a bi…

Feels Like Home to Me

Hello! I'm back from Homecoming. The weekend was wonderful and I had so much fun reconnecting with everyone, but most importantly, I loved getting to have lots of time with my closest girlfriends!

On Thursday my roommate and a friend we had in town visiting, drove down to college town. I flew do…

Family, Friends, Fun

This past weekend I went home again. This time my darling sister was also in town! I love when all 4 of us get to spend the weekend together- although it always much too short. Why do weekends always fly by??

I went apple picking for the first time! It was so fun and such a beautiful day to be outdo…

Here's some random things I need to get you, my patient readers, caught up on:

1. Fall has exploded in my house. Really what I should say, though, is pumpkins have thrown up in my house! Big ones, small ones, felt ones, glittery ones- sta…

Weekend Recap

I cannot believe it is October. Outside this weekend it felt like we kinda skipped fall all together and went straight to winter. My closet and I were not prepared.
Both my roommates were gone for the weekend and I can't handle too much time on my own these days so I did my best to keep myse…

Happy Birthday Anna- Hodgepodge

I guess I have to break my blogging silence at some point. Maybe at some point I'll share what's been going on the past couple of weeks. But for now answering some of my mom's hodgepodge questions is a much easier way to get back into my groove.

1. What's your favorite memory of Summ…

Happy Needtobreathe Day Y'all!

Happy Birthday Mom

Yesterday was my mom's birthday!

On Thursday I made the snap decision that I needed to go home for the weekend so I ended up getting to be with my mom on her birthday- I don't know who was happier about that? It's been quite a few years since I've been with her on the actual day of h…

One of those Days
