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…
Happy Holidays to You!
Well, here we are, friends. Christmas is upon us and last evening we lit our final night of Hanukkah candles! I’ll probably be dark for a few days while we do our Chirstmas-ing, but I have a wonderful soup nearly ready to go up and I’ll certainly be in for the TToT this weekend! I thank…
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…
Soup of the Week – Stuffed Pepper Soup and Time Travel
Sometimes good food does more than fill your belly. Every now and then food has the power to actually transport you back in time. And that’s exactly what happened when I tasted this stuffed pepper soup. First of all, it’s just flat-out delicious. If you like stuffed peppers, you will love this soup. And if you don’t like…
TToT – We Are Christmas-a-fied!
Well, at least I am. And Kidzilla definitely is! Hard to say how the Hub feels about the whole thing, given that he’s Jewish and all, but he certainly has done his fair share of tree-trimming with us and shelf elf duty and OUTDOOR LIGHT HANGING. We have been quite busy Christmas-ing this week and…

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 – Decking the Halls
Want to know what I really hate? I hate how crowded the house feels when it’s decorated for the holidays. I know, bah humbug. But it really always does and that makes me feel like the holidays are somehow…oppressive, no matter how enjoyable. But not this time! With the new hardwood floors in place this year,…
Sacred Store
These moments of yours are sacred each and every one a precious piece of all that is you. Happy, sad, singing, yelling, laughing, fighting – all part of all that you are and all that you are yet to be. You move much too fast for me, fighting to grow. I can hardly savor…
