Traveling With The Storm

Snowfall has such a quiet, serene, peacefulness to it as it falls gently blanketing the Earth.  Today, as we traveled through the wind, snow and ice for over 6 hours, I was feeling a bit tense and could not wait to arrive at my final destination...home.  Once I was home safely, and stepped out of the car to take in the peacefulness, my tension seemed to fade away. 

I have just a few photos of our journey through the storm to share with you...









So happy to arrive at my final destination safe and sound...


I hope that you, too, were able to enjoy a wonderful weekend and maybe you were even lucky enough to experience the peacefulness of the snowfall.

Do You Remember?

Do you remember when life was much more simple?  The days when the world seemed to move at a slower pace and gave the impression of more happiness in existence?   Here we are in the year 2011, and not only do we tend to hurry through our days but, are often caught up in searching and waiting for the bigger and better things that lie ahead.  Technology has become super exciting and made many things in life seem easier but, when you sit back and think about it....is it really improving our lives or taking away the simpler times?  What is really important?  Don't get me wrong...I love the convenience of computers, Facebook, blogging, cell phones, texting and so on, but, there is something satisfying about the simpler times.  Nothing can really replace sitting down to write an old friend a letter and sending it in the mail... ...to have her open her mailbox with a smile when she finds a letter from a dear friend.  Do you agree?  I think...

Munchie Mix for Monday

Happy Monday!  I hope that everyone was able to enjoy their weekend before today arrived and a new week is upon us again.  I had great hopes and ideas for starting something like "Motivational Monday" posts to share with you today.  Well, I am very much a planner and do not like when things stray off routine and my day goes a bit differently than originally planned.  This is something that I am trying to be a bit more relaxed about.  Anyway, this morning, I had to head to the local Meijer for some groceries and came home with not only lots of groceries, but also a headache.  Unfortunately, this happens more times than not.  I unloaded the groceries into the kitchen and my headache instantly got worse as I was trying to find places to put them and keep it in an organized and orderly fashion.  I moved into this house just over a month ago and the pantry and cupboards are feeling less than user friendly.  Enough of the explanation of my change...

My Christmas In a Nutshell...

Hello again!  I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas!  I had a fabulous, busy and fun filled Christmas back home with my family.  Before we headed back to Michigan, I had myself all worked up and overwhelmed that everything would not go as I had it planned in my mind.  I was worried about how Christmas morning would unfold being away from my own home and our normal routine in the past years.  This year, brought upon us an entirely new experience.  I was not quite sure what to expect. I was excited, anxious, and everything in between!  I am such a routine being that something like this is huge for me!  I, of course, wanted Christmas morning to be perfect for Emma and I was determined to pull it off.  It all started with figuring out how to sneak the few things that I bought prior to heading north, into the car without her seeing them. I had some things shipped and some shopping to do when we got back home.  Keep in m...
