For this past St. Valentine’s Day, I had the urge to throw a fun little party for our kids.  The more I got thinking about the little details, (which I love to do), a theme sort of started snowballing in my head (which is often the case, when I think), and I got beside myself… (READ MORE......) | 6 Comments

We don’t really GO on vacation very often.   Usually it’s not an affordable option for us anyway.  Do you know most hotels only allow FOUR to FIVE people to a room, or else you need to book 2 rooms adjoining? They say it’s because of fire regulations.  So because we can barely afford one room… (READ MORE......) | 7 Comments

Most every year, we make it down to the Plymouth parade.  Being in America’s Hometown, it’s a big deal around here!  (As is Thanksgiving, and our parade for that.)

New Year’s Eve was a GOOD TIME at our house!!

We were ready to rock in 2010!!

We went to 4:00 mass to start, because the next day was a Holy Day of Obligation for us.  It was a really great mass, with a great homily, so that was a great start to our whole night.

When we got home, we started… (READ MORE......) | 10 Comments

Thankful.

Posted by Laura on Monday Nov 30, 2009 Under Holidays, The Big Picture

Like many of you, this past Thanksgiving, we counted our blessings.

And we created  a little  ‘Thankful Tree’.

We are blessed.  So very blessed.

We don’t have a lot.  Many are surprised at the things we simply do without.
