Tonight’s Chili

You know that you are the child of a food blogger when you look at your dinner and say to your mom…this would be a perfect picture for your blog Mom! Can I get your camera? That is what my daughter did tonight. 🙂 I have already blogged my chili…

2013 is Almost Here!

Fernando Ortega sings a song called “This Time Next Year”. In it he looks ahead at all that can or will happen by the time the next year rolls around. One example he gives is that you had better hold the baby now, because he will be walking soon…it always…

O Holy Night

O Holy Night is a Christmas song that speaks for itself. The music builds to such a climax that almost mimics the apex moment of the birth of Jesus. The first stanza is such a clear descriptor when it says, “Long lay the world in sin and error pining, till…

It’s a Wonderful Life!

Our son is home for Christmas! We have been waiting for this day to come! Now, it is time to watch all of our old Christmastime favorites…so tonight, “It’s a Wonderful Life!”. Time to be reminded that life isn’t all about what money can buy. What a great time for…
