After a slumber party with a 3 yr old who was wound up after seeing Frozen on Ice, my brain isn’t working too well.  With this said I was looking at photos I had taken  of Missouri and will share with you. Kansas City Union Station.

I love getting ready for Christmas and can’t wait for all the excitement.  I don’t know what you do for Christmas, but ours was getting so “Predictable”.  With that said, I am bringing in some of my childhood get togethers and bring a new twist.  Normally it is dinner, open gifts, and visiting.  This yearContinue reading “Wonderful Time of the Year”

How many of us just go thru the years enjoying the Holiday season (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Holidays you celebrate and New Years) knowing what why we celebrate, but sometimes some hit harder.  This has been the case for me this year.  It has been a tough last 6-8 months and it makes me appreciate the importanceContinue reading “Holidays this year”

Today my littlest granddaughter and I made Snowmen ornaments. She got so wrapped up in doing this that we made 14 of them. After this we got paper, scissors, and glue sticks out. She is conquering how to use scissors. A great fun day.
