I suppose we have now moved onto Spring snows here in Colorado but this one truly was one of the last snows of Winter. I'm always a bit sad to say goodbye to a season, but always happy to say hello to the next one. I know each one will go as fast as they come which is a little bittersweet to me. I always love snow pictures - they are just so pretty. And when you are out in snow taking pictures, you are always just playing & having fun so it makes for joy filled photos. Nothing much ... continue reading...
Cinnamon Roll Bunnies for Easter
I have always been a fan of holidays and traditions. Just the other day my parents were telling the story (again) of how at age 6 we had a spontaneous Valentine's Day picnic dinner of take-out Chinese food on our living room floor - with the large, round, red tablecloth.

We ate it in the same spot on the same ... continue reading...

I know not every Anglican church is the same (just like any denomination ... continue reading...

I've been doing it since Hilde's first Easter (2019, 2020) and although they still are not old enough to expect it, it brings me such joy to put it together and give to our girls on Easter morning. In our house the Easter Basket comes from Mom & Dad. We don't believe in the Easter Bunny just like we don't believe in Santa. We've decided that we want to make it clear to our kids what we are celebrating on Easter & Christmas and ... continue reading...
Will I ever Finish all these drafts?
I'm currently sitting on the couch with my laptop, staring at a drafts folder on my website that has over 500 posts sitting in it. Yet here I am in a new tab crafting a new post that may or may not get stuck in the drafts abyss with all the rest. I've got too many tabs open, I feel slightly guilty about watching the new episode of Design Star on Discovery+ because it took an hour of my free time, and I keep glancing over at my planner across the room wondering if I need to grab it to ... continue reading...
