It's a glorious Thanksgiving morning here in PA! The row of windows along the back of our home give view to a gorgeous, snow-covered forest! Fresh snow is so breathtaking! Waking up to children's giggles, my daughters harp music spreading Christmas hymns throughout the house, friendly voices, and a day FULL of Thanksgiving ahead made me feel that life couldn't get better! (Though of course this Continue Reading
It’s a Spooky Happy
Halloween has always been a special holiday for our family. I met my husband on a blind date on Halloween night (through our friend Heidi—Bless her FOREVER)! It's a holiday that was created to scare away evil or stranded spirits and to give to the poor; the beggars who went from door to door.

It almost feels like we're in a speed boat! There it is, this gorgeous tranquil water, it's mirror-like surface shimmering, reflecting the sunlight with its tossing ripples right outside your window. Moments Continue Reading
