A Christmas Box full of memories…

by Robin on December 16, 2008

 One Christmas about 15 years ago, I gave my mom a Christmas gift that was a bit unconventional. I filled a box full of things that reminded me of (some of) the ways my mom showed me love…I wanted to tell her that I remembered. To tell her some specific ways she’d so influenced my [...]

A night on the town!

by Robin on December 15, 2008

My dad took The Husband and I to see A Christmas With Peter White on Saturday night. There were 8 of us and a great time was had by all! Because of the blasted budget cuts around here, we weren’t going to venture downtown for anything fun this December. Some years we go to the Nutcracker [...]

Let’s Do Dessert Party!

by Robin on December 12, 2008

We put on Rudoloph with the sound down and had Christmas music playing in the background. The real music though was all the laughing.    [...]

She told me, at [...]

Twas the night before Christmas…

by Robin on December 9, 2008

This is the little invite I sent my kids last Christmas Eve.    I’m planning the festivities for this year right now, and I need your help, bear with me … this year I’m changing up the menu. Now, I love a good pa-noo-noo (that’s my way of saying panini!), but, last year after we had [...]

The Crying Seasons…

by Robin on December 8, 2008

Here we are, pretty well into the Christmas season. How are you feeling? The reason I ask is that for me, the season itself, seems to magnify and intensify wherever I am emotionally. I have, of late, been focused on joy. It’s been a couple of years since joy washed over me like this, so [...]

I was watching the Santa Claus 2 with Stephie while we were decorating her house the other day. When this part came on we both stopped and watched. I don’t know, like a terrible train wreck, we couldn’t look away. It was painful for me. Physically painful. I’m one of those people that can’t watch [...]

  You know this little lovable fellow. It’s Hermey the Dentist from Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer!  For as long as I can remember, Hermey has been spoken about at our house on at least,a weekly basis. I’m not kidding. Why? I’m glad you asked! It’s his hair…  Me and the girls I birthed have [...]
