Christmas has ended but that doesn’t mean the spirit of giving has to fade away.  2015 overall has  been a good year, I’ve had joyous moments, a couple stumbles but nothing that rocked me too hard and I came out on top.  But perhaps you know someone who hasn’t been as fortunate.  Perhaps there’s someone […]

I’m so thankful for the sunshine and milder weather that has finally reached us here in West Michigan.  I think Polly (my cocker spaniel) is pretty thankful as well.  We’re finally able to step outdoors without having to be completely bundled head to toe, and as we do every spring, we’re on a quest – […]

Dear Christmas Tree, You are without doubt my biggest joy throughout the holiday season.  I love to peer upon your loveliness and watch your lights twinkle.  I eagerly wait in anticipation for that glorious day in November when it’s no longer “too early” to proudly pick you up from the lot and bring you home […]
