Rabbit rabbit! Happy Friday, which is also National Cinnamon Day (I like) and National Calzone Day (I also like). It’s also the day after Halloween. We had fewer kids visit this year; about 57 total. In prior years we used…

Adorable clay ghosts!
A while back I had pinned a trio of ceramic ghosts that I wanted to buy from Etsy. They were adorable. When I went to find them, instead of going back to Pinterest (to be honest I forgot I had…
Our Christmas Village
Yes I’m writing about the Christmas Village in March. The Friday 5 jogged my memory and who knows if I’ll still be blogging regularly in December. Listen, if I were actually GOOD at blogging I’d be rolling in influencer cash…
