Jotham's Journey is a Special Book

Advent Book:Family Favorite

 
      I LOVE to read! It is awesome. And it is Christmas time, so I thought I would share with you one of my favorite, and I mean FAVORITE Christmas stories. There is The Night Before Christmas, and The Christmas Carole which are great stories, but this one trumps those. It is called Jotham's Journey. I know it does not sound Christmasy, but it is really great.

My Pets and Their Back Stories

My Lovable Friends

     Like I said in my Photography post, I am now going to talk about my pets! I have three dogs and a cat. The dog's names are Jack, Pebbles, and Lydia. My cat's name is Lottie. I will tell you about them

Two good Holiday Movies

Early Advice for Christmas Movies

Yesterday, we watched The Man Who Invented Christmas. I know it is early but, we just couldn't resist. It was a really good movie about Charles Dickens and how he created the everlasting character of Scrooge.

Thanksgiving: A Joyful Celebration

I Am Blessed with Food, Family, and Friends

     As a tradition, each family member chooses one side dish to make for Thanksgiving. (The turkey and stuffing always are on the table with whatever side dishes we choose.) I have chosen homemade biscuits using our bread machine.

Cheap and Easy Paper Mache Pumpkins!

     Easy Paper Mache Pumpkins

      A few weeks ago we made paper mache pumpkins. It was a very easy way to use up junk mail and plastic bags. If you have those things ( I am sure you do! ) then you can make some very festive pumpkins!
