New Year's Eve traditions

One day left in the year...okay about a day a half now. I, of course (big procrastinator!) have not run over to the store yet to get my grapes for tomorrow and I need grapes, I should know better by now. There was a year when we were in California that I had to ask a woman to please let me have only 36 grapes since there was only 1 bag left at 7 pm on New Year's Eve. She was kind enough to share. Okay enough about that let's dive in to some traditions that I keep plus wha

Holiday Crafting Time!

It's that time again! Time for gifting all the teachers, caregivers, bus drivers, teachers aides etc. If you are anything like me, it all needs to be done this week and you are still not done! I go through a few stages before I am done. 1. Spend a few hours on Pinterest looking for the perfect craft that you think you can pull off. 2. Buying supplies for the craft. 3. Try to make one, get frustrated, walk away. 4. Consider buying everyone gift cards. 5. Suck it up and star

What are you grateful for?

As Thanksgiving and Christmas are fast approaching I have a tendency to get all sentimental. This Thanksgiving and Christmas will be our first year in Texas with no family close by. And that is okay because I have met amazing women in Celina Ladies & Friends that have embraced my family. Besides my family, which I am grateful for, I am truly grateful for my girlfriends. If I need to get out of the house I now have women to call that will get me out of the house. They push

Almost Thanksgiving!

We are 12 days away from Thanksgiving day. Last year, when I hosted a student from Europe, this was the holiday she was most excited for! She had only seen how Thanksgiving is celebrated on TV and movies. After explaining the story of the Mayflower and the pilgrims to her we went into the food. Stuffing, turkey, mashed potatoes, ham, cranberry sauce, mac and cheese, green beans, sweet potatoes and 2 pies. We prepared and baked every single item, even though it took us a f

Apple Season and Fall Favorites

The nights are getting nice and cool. The sweaters have been taken out of the closet and so did the boots and scarves. Growing up in California, October meant it was apple picking season. Load the kids up and pick a bushel of apples even in the cold and then take them home and make them into every recipe you could think of! That is one thing I have not found here in Texas. If anyone reading this knows of an apple farm that I can get to in under 1 1/2 hours please let me

October Breast Cancer Awareness month

This month is a very important month to bring awareness about checking on "The Girls". Every 2 minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer. It is scary to receive that diagnosis. While I have been lucky so far in not receiving this news; my younger sister had a double mastectomy in her 20's and a cousin underwent treatment in her 50's and she is currently in remission. Breast cancer does not discriminate and sometimes, though rare, it will also affect men. So what can

31 more days...

Anyone else counting down the days until Fall? Dreaming of cool, crisp nights? Bonfires? S'mores and pumpkin spice? I definitely am! Besides those things I am also anxiously waiting for my Autumn Joy Sedum to bloom so I can see what color I planted and trying to figure out what I can start to do in my Fall garden! Daffodil, Iris and Hyacinth bulbs are whispering "plant me!" But it is too soon! Now is the time to clean up the last of my Summer vegetable garden and start

Back to School 2019!

Summer over all ready? Yes! It is almost time for the kids to go back to school. If your children attend Celina ISD the first day back is only 5 days away. In our household, we are getting the kids back in the swing of things by going to bed a little earlier and starting to get them up closer to school hours. All school supplies have been purchased and their backpacks are neatly hanging up by the door, ready for the first day of school. What are some of your tips and t

The "Dog Days" of Summer

I have never known heat until I moved to Texas! We are currently right in the middle of what is considered the Dog Days of Summer, a phrase started by the ancient Romans. These days are from around July 3rd through August 11th. These days are usually the hottest and longest due to the way the Earth tilts on its way around the sun. It also is when the star Sirius (the Dog star) which is part of the Great Dog constellation is visible in the Summer sky, thus the name. So w

Spotlight on our Sponsor: Jimbo's Pizza

Just a little off the square is Jimbo's pizza. Their current location has a cozy atmosphere for a family to share dinner, play some pool and listen to live music. Jimbo's opened in 1993 and Dago Rodriguez became the sole proprietor in 2005. If you go during lunch hours, they feature a yummy lunch buffet for an amazing price. Another great thing about Jimbo's is their community involvement. They offer a reward program at the elementary schools to encourage the kids to exce
