I’m so booked up! I’m going to a Christmas show tomorrow night and to the Nutcracker ballet on Sunday. Friday and Saturday are crazy too! Thank goodness all my shopping is done. But it does not stop me from missing you, sweet girls. I love you both so much. I hope you are well and…
The Christmas season has officially started. The stores have been bustling for weeks. But now it’s starting to feel like the season. This year is going to be a whole lot easier than last year. Losing someone you love is very hard. Celebrating without them is harder still. I’m actually looking forward to all the…
I remember you both when you were just wee little babies. I’d throw you over my shoulder and hold onto you. I’d kiss your pudgy cheeks. And squeeze your little feet. What cute babies you both were. I am so grateful we had those years together. This situation would be MUCH worse if it had…
Talking to someone I know who understands always makes me feel better. I wish we could talk on the phone. But I have sent you both a letter in the mail. It’s in a light purple envelope. I hope you both get to read it so you know that I’m thinking of you and loving…
I had a rough day today. A student was taken out of my class because she doesn’t have perfect scores on her report card. Stupid huh?! Yes, people get mad at you and blame you for weird stuff when you get older too. It doesn’t stop when you grow up. Thankfully, my boss is FULLY…

Next year they’ll have zip lining, archery and mountain bike rentals. I took your oldest brother there when he was very little – about 5-7 ish….
Today was a busy day! After a morning in Santa’s Village, I sped down the mountain, just in time to make it to the play, The Best Christmas Pagaent Ever. One of my friend’s were in it with her daughter. We became good friends during Steel Magnolias, so I wanted to give my support. Here’s…
The holidays can be a stressful time. There is too much to do: buy presents, get them wrapped, go to parties, pay bills, etc… I’m just drowning in it all. Gotta get my Christmas cards out. Look what my cards are this year…Three owl sisters sitting together. Yes, you both continue to inspire me. So…
I’m not feelin’ so well today – menstral cramps – you know how it is. So I’m hanging out at home tonight with my heating pad, drinking buckets of tea, taking ibuprofen and watching Christmas movies. This is one of my favorites: Christmas Lodge. It’s a Thomas Kincaid story. Thomas Kincaid was known as “the…
I hope life is treating you well, sweet girls. I miss you everyday! But I try to stay busy so I don’t dwell on it too much. I hope you are doing the same. Its kinda important to build a bit of a wall around yourself. Most people do not get in. Only people you…
