“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”
Today, December 23rd, marks the 190th anniversary of the first publication of one of my absolute favorite poems, “A Visit from St. Nicholas,” more familiarly known by its first line as “The Night before Christmas.” Granted, there has been some serious debate as to the true authorship of the poem – some argue for Clement…

Ten Things of Thankful – Putting Up the Tree Edition
If it weren’t for the Ten Things of Thankful hop, I think my blog would be in hibernating mode. I want to post lots of great things, but it’s been kind of crazy around here since Thanksgiving so I’m not getting in as much write time as I would prefer. Or anything else time, really.…

My Creature Comforts
Nothing like a Monday Listicles post on a Tuesday, right? I admit it. I am generally late or nearly late for just about everything. The Fab Hub says it’s because I grossly underestimate how long it takes to do, well, everything. I’m certain that all meals take thirty minutes or less and it takes fifteen…

A Thank You Party
“Mom, why are they decorated for the Fourth of July in here?” Kidzilla asked this toward the end of our meal at a local restaurant on Saturday evening. Sure enough, the place looked ready for an Independence Day celebration. There were sprays of red, white, silver, and blue stars shooting up out of vases on…

Ten Things of Thankful – Way Better Week Edition
How in the world is it Friday already? Make no mistake, I’m happy to see it. But how did the week fly by so fast? I’m happy to report that this week has been much better than last – way better, even with the last three days of grade reporting for the end of the…

Learning to Pray
I am still in the home stretch of final grades for this marking period, so this is short and sweet. Truth be told, I should probably be skipping the blog post tonight and just getting my work finished. (Can you hear the Fab Hub gently pointing out that I’ll be exhausted if I stay up…

Ten Things of Thankful AND a Monday Listicles – I Love You Edition
Every now and then, I link up with Stasha’s Monday Listicles posts. I haven’t done one in a while, but I always love reading them. When I saw this week’s lists, though, I knew that list topic was not only a great (late) Listicles post, but it would also work perfectly for a Ten Things of…

The Lunch Box Master
The Fab Hub is a lunch box master. This is pretty amazing since when we met, the man had no idea how to pack a lunch. In fact, while we were not dating, I used to bring a few extra items in my lunch to share with him since we worked at the same place…

The Day We Did Nothing Together
Last Saturday, Kidzilla and I spent the entire day together. We did exactly nothing together all day. And it was awesome. The Fab Hub went for an extended hike with a friend so Zilla and I were left to our own devices for the day. I thought of all the ways we could possibly spend…

Ten Things of Thankful – Interesting and Mildly Entertaining Edition
I missed doing the Ten Things of Thankful linkup last week. It’s not that I wasn’t thankful for anything…it just…never happened. Sometimes I really think in the midst of the heaviness of life, it’s too easy to forget about those little lighter moments that slip in between the big ones. So this week I have a…
