61 days...

Yep....61 days.  2 months (or so)...that's all we have until Christmas.

The holiday has come up a lot for us in the last couple of days as we try to plan what we will do this holiday season.  We are 4-8 hours from family.  With kids in school and 2 full-time jobs for us parents, those distances translate into a LOT of travelling.   That being said, we made a decision...we will be staying home this holiday season.   That makes me relieved and sad at the same time.   Sad that I won't be spending Christmas back home in Wisconsin (or anytime close to Christmas) and sad that I won't get to enjoy all the family traditions.   The relief???  I don't have to travel.  I don't have to lose sleep about how Santa will come to see my kids while we're on the road.  We can make our own traditions here at home.For this I'm excited.



Now with all that being said.



WE ONLY HAVE 61 DAYS LEFT!!!!



I have gifts to buy, gifts to knit and shipping deadlines to meet.  Yep...LOVE the holiday season!

Fresh start

My new Galaxy S4 inspired me to start fresh.   I am always on the go and it is great to be able to have so much at my fingertips.   Especially my blog.    I want to do a little more here and this will help with being able to add pictures while on the go!
