This one is always challenging, because I never know where to start. To sum it all up, 2012 has been one of the most growing years for me personally. When I say growing, I mean spiritually and emotionally. This year unlike any other, I have felt like each day is a gift, a gift that…

I wait for Christmas every year and as it approaches, I often even get sad that it will be gone too soon.  Then I asked myself, what am I doing?  What is this all about?  So, I have decided to not get caught up in my feelings but to actually celebrate the Christmas season.  I…

Let me tell you, this year unlike any other, picking out and decorating our tree felt unorganized, unpredictable and just somehow chaotic. You would think two kids can not make that much difference, yes they can. I am not complaining in any way, just stating the fact that it was different. It was Joshy’s first…

This holiday always gets me to stop and think about all that we have, all that our kids have, all that our families have. Every single time I begin to think and evaluate I come to one conclusion, give, give, give. I am not sure if I can even relay my feeling, but it’s a…

I still cannot believe, my dear hubby ran 26.2 miles. It’s difficult to wrap my head around that number, as it seems insane. I am a very proud wifie that he endured such distance. Barry, Bobby and their two friends, decided to do something significant during their year of being 30 and the idea of…

Happy Birthday to the most beautiful, wonderful, loving, kind and one of a kind woman, mamusichka! I always want to do something special for her birthday to show her how much we all appreciate her and all that she does for us. This year was a little different, as we were going to be out…

Every year, Barry and I re-visit the subject of Halloween and whether we want our kids to participate.  So far it has been a fun enjoyable “dress up” holiday, but we will just take it one year at a time and decide what we think of it.  This year, Bella wanted to be princess Belle…

The tradition is living, we have done it again, we went to Apple Hill. One of our favorite little getaways to drink some cider, eat apple doughnuts, buy pumpkins, apples and of course take pictures 😉 I love going back and comparing the pictures from previous years to watch how different the kids were. This…

What a whirl of emotions.  I enjoy garage sales quite a bit and having my own sounded like a great idea, especially since our church decided to have another mega garage sale.  You might be thinking big, but I am talking mega, as in HUGE.  This year I volunteered at our church garage sale to…

It was somewhat of a spontaneous outing for our little family, but we definitely had much more time to enjoy it this year versus last year. Leaving early makes a huge difference 😉 This pumpkin patch has become a small tradition without us realizing it. There is something about pumpkins that are just massive and…
