This time of year we light candles to celebrate the retreating darkness, to celebrate miracles and survival, to tell the story of a baby born to poor parents who grew up to be the light of the world, and/or to…
What I’m Listening To: Any Pentatonix Christmas Song
Seriously. They’re all good. Every song is good. This Youtube playlist is 75 songs long. If you don’t want to listen to four hours of Pentatonix (why wouldn’t you, what’s wrong with you?) I heartily recommend their version of “When…
Murphy, December 2020
Murphy has BIG FEELINGS, whether it’s barkingly upset or barkingly happy or whiningly sad or growlingly irritated. As we headed into our first Christmas with Murphy back in 2017, we were worried that he’d destroy all of the holiday decorations….
Christmas Movie Roundup
I unapologetically watch Hallmark Christmas movies between Thanksgiving until New Year’s. I love all of their cheesiness and I’m all for thin plots and happy endings. Here are few that I’ve seen lately…all movies are on Hallmark unless indicated otherwise….
What I’m listening to: Holly Dolly Christmas
It’s a fun Christmas Album by country and vaccine queen Dolly Parton! Here’s the entire album! The whole album is fantastic. My favorites are “Cuddle Up, Cozy Down Christmas” which is a duet with Michael Buble, and “Christmas on the…
Lazy Sunday
I had such grand plans for today. All I ended up really doing was grocery shopping, replacing the lights on our pre-lit palm tree Christmas tree downstairs, and addressing the Christmas cards. I was GOING to freeze up some cookie…

Christmas Roundup!
December was a sugar-coated whirlwind of activities that didn’t let up until the 26th, which begins WM and I lovingly call … Sloth Week. Schools are closed and TNP is closed until January 2. That leaves us here in the…
Christmas 2017
I kinda whiffed on Christmas this year. While I started planning in October as usual, this year I: > Didn’t bake a lot of cookies at all, and the ones I did make weren’t all that great. > Bought my…
Currently, slacking edition
SLACKING on this blog. Seriously, Kim, get over your post-vacation funk and get it together. Painting my future craft room. Finally. I went to Lowes with the sunbeam paint swatch in hand. Dumped painting supplies in the cart. Wheeled it…
Throwback Thursday: December 1973
Rabbit rabbit! I’m glad it’s October because September well and truly sucked. Yuck. No date on the back of this one, but I’m positive it’s Christmas 1973. This is an actual Polaroid picture. For the younger readers, this is what…
