Christmas Things

How is your December going? Ours is busier than usual and, to be honest, busier than I’d like. I love the festive feeling of the month, but it’s a *tiny* bit too much for this introvert. Today, however, I’m cozied up at home because Kansas City is a winter wonderland. We got 8-ish inches of […]

December 1, 2016 Filed Under: Holidays, House & Home, Seasons and Holidays
Happy December! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving and are enjoying the start to the holiday season. I’m sharing this photo from our living room last year because, as you may know if we’re connected on Instagram or Facebook, we’re undergoing some renovations at our house.

Christmas at Kansas City’s Union Station
December 17, 2014 Filed Under: Holidays, Kansas City, Seasons and Holidays, Travel & KC
Grant took the train home from St. Louis for Thanksgiving and he said it was so neat to walk from the train and through Union Station all decorated for Christmas. Actually I’m sure he didn’t use the word neat. He probably used sweet or sick to describe it. If you have a teenage boy, you know what […]
Greenery Around the House

Yesterday I posted this picture of a bunch of evergreen branches on Instagram. I’d like to tell you that I went on a hike and found all these live greens along the way, but the truth is I stumbled across them at Home Depot while looking for an evergreen shrub. They were being sold in bunches, […]
