Winter

Winter is right around the corner. Just like Hazel Scott and Lena Horne, why not take a break and have a festive moment with a special friend.

Welcome December

Hello my friends, I know it's that wonderful time of the year. The most important thing is to celebrate in the way that resonates with you.

We are in the darkest part of the year. Take time to celebrate the sunset daily. The sunsets in December appear particularly vibrant to me. I love to play this song by Loreena Mckennitt around this time of the year. There is a beautiful melancholy that fits these shorter days.




When the sun begins his return on the 21st which is the Winter Solstice, you can celebrate the Sun. Which echoes Christmas that celebrates another son.


December is full of darkness and light just like us.
So if instead of endless shopping or parties, you want to watch the sunset, listen to music, make your home more cozy then do it. This is your December.

It's December!

Happy December, my friends. We are down to the final stretch of 2016. I have not been active on here as much as I wanted to. Jake is in kindergarten now. Getting use to the rhythms of a new school and homework with him. School seems a lot more intense since I went. My husband is still in college. It falls down to Mom to keep everything running smooth and ship shape.




It's December finally. Time for Christmas, Winter Solstice, New Year's and Eggnog. I adore Eggnog. I wish someone had a 365 day a year Eggnog place. I surely be there. Eggnog in Spring, Summer and Fall!! It's all good to me. Have you ever tried to make Eggnog? I've seen recipes for it; I have decided one year I'll make it when I have an afternoon to myself. Have anyone of you made homemade Eggnog? Please let me know.


I have a not so secret love for Romance Regency books. One of my old friends use to make fun of me for reading them. I love them. I especially love the Christmas and Valentine's Day theme books. I have a penchant for sweet, old fashioned love stories. This book I got years ago at a half price bookstore. I have been recently been looking on Amazon and eBay to repurchase old Regency books again. They warm my romantic heart. I'll share of couple of these books with all of you. Also, my love of Betty Neels. That's a whole another post.

Have a wonderful Thursday, my friends. Start on your Christmas decorations and shopping. Get it done early, so you can enjoy the holiday season.

Are you Ready?

The season is upon us. It is now December 1st. Don't wait till the last minute to get things done. Do a little bit a day to get your holiday shopping, decorations and menu completed. So you can have an enjoyable Holiday season.
