Priorities, after all.

October 15, 2013 by Mindy 1 Comment

My son is a pagan.  Or something along those lines. Recently, during one of my daily “breakdown of the school day” rap sessions with my little 2nd grader (a.k.a. behavior update and/or early planning for teacher Christmas payoffs) I discovered that Jack has recently had Santa Clause on his little brain. I shouldn’t be surprised. […]

“Merry Christmas Is Over”

December 27, 2010 by Mindy 9 Comments

Anyone think there should be a holiday celebrating the end of a holiday? I believe most of mankind would benefit from a mandatory resting period beginning no later than the evening of December 25th, after the kids have been strapped down into bed, their bodies having begun withdrawal from 48 hours of sugar-induced hyperactivity. As […]

Holiday Hangover

December 28, 2009 by Mindy 14 Comments

Phew, what a Christmas! It’s certainly been a wonderful week but, wow, what an exhausting one! The feeling I currently have reminds me of my old single days. Me and the girls would get all gussied up for a night out on the town spending ungodly amounts of time on hair and makeup.We would primp […]

Let the Festivities Begin!

December 24, 2009 by Mindy 7 Comments

Hooray, it’s Christmas Eve! I can hardly believe that the hourly countdown has begun. The kids have already started asking me for updates as to how long they have to wait until Santa will arrive. It’s been what has seemed like a long time coming but the big day is finally within our reach! I […]

Golden Rum Cake Recipe

December 23, 2009 by Mindy 5 Comments

Ah…rum. Have I mentioned my preference for this gloriously rich liquid beauty? There is just something about its versatility which makes it all the more appealing. The fact that I can drink it…and eat it…rates it right up there with winning the lottery and watching The Thunder from Down Under. Pretty high marks. Rum became […]

Three more days…

December 22, 2009 by Mindy 11 Comments

Honestly, I really can’t believe that it’s almost Christmas Day. And I’m kind of sad about it.It may be a little bit silly to already be upset that something is ending, when it hasn’t even happened yet, but anybody who has been eagerly anticipating this specific morning for 364 days understands the inevitable letdown that […]

Wrapping presents…who came up with this idea?

December 21, 2009 by Mindy 18 Comments

Phew. I’m done. I have completely finished all of my seasonal materialistic obligations. The hubby and I dropped the kids off with my folks on Saturday evening (thank you very much Pops and Gamma, so sorry about the ribbon incident) and finished up with what has become a very drawn-out gifting experience. I’ve already posted […]

Gift-Giving

December 14, 2009 by Mindy 19 Comments

After suffering through a miniature panic attack a little over a week ago due to the realization that the time to stock up my gift closet was running out (thanks for the heads up QVC), I quickly pulled it together and managed a good amount of retail therapy. It could have been any number of […]

I’m not a “Crafter”

December 10, 2009 by Mindy 15 Comments

Have you ever noticed that the Christmas holiday brings with it the expectation that all those who celebrate will do so with creativity and imagination? There are cookies to bake, Christmas cards to craft, gingerbread houses to construct and candy to make. Your neighbors are decorating their front porches with wreaths and adorable little candy […]
