New Year’s Affirmations
I like doing affirmations for New Year’s. I used to do resolutions, but like most people, I had a hard time keeping to them.

At the time, I wasn’t quite sure what she meant. We sat at her lovely dining room table, drinking … Continue reading Teddy Bears and Tidying
You Can’t Fail Christmas
Today, I had a friend say that she felt like she had failed Christmas. She went on to tell me that she had bought the wrong gift card for her daughter.
