A Christmas Letter with a Twist of Ru...
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…” -Charles Dickens
If this letter is brief, we apologize. We should have started earlier, but there just wasn’t time. There has been at least one bug living in our home all year. A dozen colds, 2-3 flu bugs and one case of Vertigo. We even had two possible cases of [...]
Got Elf’d?
December 1st all the buzz was about Crimpus Fruitloop. You remember him, right? He is our little elf friend that visits our home during December.

Ballerina’s Collected

I find my daughter in her purple tutu, dancing around to the Nutcracker. In the “audience” are all of her ballerina toys & ornaments. Angelina, Barbie and many others watch on while she pe [...]
Modern Day Mary Poppins?

Money doesn’t buy happiness.
Quality family time matters so much.
A couple of times while I was watching this movie, I wanted to go wake my babies and read them a book and cuddle. It is a [...]

First Dress Rehearsal
Costumes, make-up, ballet slippers, hangers, water, snacks, hairspray, tights littered the dressing room. The faint smell of perspiration lingered in the air, organized chaos all around and rushed costume changes all so familiar but yet another lifetime for for the little ballerina’s mom.
As the little ballerina [...]
