This Unfamiliar Road

Wow y'all...it's been a busy month! December is always crazy with holiday gatherings, decorating, crafts, baking, shopping, and wrapping gifts! I feel fortunate that most of our time has been spent with family and friends...that's what the season is all about :) We kicked off the Christmas season by attending an annual...

Recently, Ben participated in his first BBQ competition! He has become more involved in competition grilling over the past year (yes, this is something you can compete in!) and has really grown to love it. After months of preparation and practice, competition weekend finally arrived! It was very hectic, and I don't think...

I'm usually of the opinion that stocking gifts should be inexpensive, but hey...I guess...

It's here! It's here! I loved participating in the first annual Christmas List Linkup last year, and it's time to do it again.   Today, the focus is on my list for this year...what I hope for/need the most! I have to be honest-I am a very practical gifter. I don't often spend money on myself, so my list is usually...

After a summer break for the Five on Friday ladies, and a maternity break for me, I am back at it! I love Five on Friday because it gives me a chance to reflect on my week/upcoming weekend and think about what I'm thankful for and excited about!   {ONE} It's Friday.  Duh. Before going on maternity leave,...
