A Hodgepodge

March 20, 2019 By D'Ann Mateer

Life has been a little crazy since my last post. We have been on the road a good bit, mostly business for my husband with me tagging along.

Ornaments Galore

December 6, 2018 By Karen Witemeyer

At our house, Christmas ornaments aren't a coordinated masterpiece of elegant design. They are a hodgepodge of memories hanging on a tree - and I love them! From the ugly Old King Cole plastic ornament that belonged to my husband when he was a kid that I always manage to hide in the back of the tree, to the baby picture ornaments from first Christmases, to the ones brought home from school, to the … [Read more...]
