Valentines Day is just around the corner. I remember being a kid and loving that day. We had school parties where we got candy, cupcakes, tons of cards, it was almost like Halloween. As I got older, I either loved or hated the day, depending on if I had a boyfriend at the time or not. Even sometimes when I had a boyfriend I hated the day!

With Christmas over and all those festivities behind us, we all look to the new year. What will we change, what will we work towards, all of the above. So here are the top New Years resolutions…which ones will Mommie be doing? Read the rest of this entry »

I figured I’d post now, as I won’t be able to for the rest of today or tomorrow. Well, Christmas is finally here (Christmas Eve at least). All the presents are wrapped, we baked yesterday (oh, and all got exposed to strep again, lovely), family got into town last night and we’re ready to start our holiday.

To all my Mommies Home.net readers, have a wonderful Christmas! I know I will sure try!

Christmas music was at the top of my list, it’s the only thing I’d listen to from November first until the day after Christmas. I loved wrapping presents and giving them to my loved ones every year. I baked pumpkin bread and pumpkin cheesecake, I’d make sure I had cinnamon spiced coffee or tea, I’d have egg nog in the refrigerator. I’d have the Christmas spirit for months after Christmas, it was wonderful.

Last year something seemed to change in me, I wasn’t as excited. The season flew by and I didn’t bake anything but break apart cookies. Our house was just cluttered, not seasonal. It just didn’t feel the same. This year, well, I just want the stupid holiday to be over… Read the rest of this entry »
