TToT – Soft Landing

Our start to the New Year has been a very soft landing. I think I first heard the term used in conversation when one of Kidzilla’s preschool teachers talked about giving the children a “soft landing” routine in the morning. At the time I thought, “OK whatever,” but it’s actually a nice concept. And here in…

TToT – Between the Holidays

So here we are. It’s the end of a year once again and the beginning of a new one waits just ahead. I have been feeling rather reflective the last couple of weeks, even amidst the busy-ness of the holidays. Here between the Christmas and New Year holidays seems a good time to do that. The…

TToT – Enjoying Life!

We have been busy here, friends! I have to tell you this. I can’t remember quite enjoying the time leading up to the holidays as much as I am this year. It’s different. I could ramble on here for a few paragraphs about all the specifics of why, but I’m not going to. Let me…

The Spirit of Christmas

Saturday was the feast of St. Nicholas. My Daughter woke to find her shoes filled with clementines and chocolate truffles with pretty wrapping and of course she was delighted. When else does a child get a treat for not putting away their shoes at night? She positively floated to our room that morning, I am…

TToT – Post-iversary!

So as it turns out, this is my 350th post. A little post-iversary, if you will. I kind of want confetti and party horns to happen here…pretend it did. Now let’s get down to the business of being Thankful. I’ve been exercising my culinary muscles in the kitchen again this week and managed a couple…

TToT – Lazy and Late

I am late to the party this week. We’ve had a very lazy weekend and I kinda want to get back to that since the next few will keep us hopping! But I’m going to get this in under the wire, thanks to Dyanne for giving me a little poke.

TToT – Community

The Fab Hub rolled his eyes and sighed at me when I told him I didn’t know if I had ten things for my list this week. I’m not really sure when my husband the cynic became my husband the positive thinker. But the gesture did serve to make me realize that hearing those words out…

TToT- Funk Busting

By the time the TToT hop goes live, we are going to be busy getting our weekend started. I should probably be doing ten other things right now, but I don’t want to wait until oh sometime maybe Sunday to get linked. So I’m going to bang out this list quickly so I can get back to…
