• Tinsel, snow and December

  Living in the northwest has its advantages. We are lucky to have four seasons. The length of those seasons is up to Mother Nature herself. We had eighty degree days in November this year. And snow already. It makes me wonder what the rest winter will look like. I personally hope for more snow. I…

  Each year this holiday comes around I am always amazed at how fast the year has flown by! Candy is fun. Hocus Pocus is a fave tradition in our household. Also Michael Jackson’s thriller is a must. It brings back so much nostalgia. Enjoyed movies and tacos with my little family tonight. Only had three…

• What is in a name…🙃

  

  I am a nerd in all things. So researching names is a fun hobby for me. It is fascinating how names have meanings, colors, history.
