So, the holidays came and went and so did the 1 year anniversary of Tiara’s passing. I have thought about you all often and still can’t believe I didn’t post on January 15, but I just couldn’t bring myself to write as I was afraid of what I would say. As you all know, I…

It was a great birthday!
My birthday started off with opening this amazing present, which was wrapped by Tabitha. I have to say I think it is the best wrapping I have ever seen! I think it took her over an hour to complete it but she loves to wrap! I can’t believe I am posting a picture of…
Valentine’s Day, just more work for me!
This is how much I care about Valentine’s Day. Zero. This was my conversation Wednesday morning while Lou was getting ready for work. Lou: So are we exchanging Valentine’s? Me: Well, I made cookies for my sister’s kids, and plan on baking something for our Mom’s. I bought each girl something small and I was…
What to give up for Lent?
As you most of you know, I am Catholic and since today is Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, I need to decide immediately what I should give up for 6 weeks. Like most women, I contemplated the whole dessert, chocolate, cookies, cakes, basically all sweets and I don’t think it is the best…
Are you ready for Christmas yet?
Well, for the first time in lots of years, I am ready for Christmas early! I have bought and wrapped all the gifts (even the Santa gifts, I normally organize and wrap at 10pm on Christmas Eve). Sent out my cards, while keeping my addresses updated on the computer each time a new address…

You are supposed to ask 5 bloggers, 5 questions about their traditions and then carry on the process. Lanaya tagged Leslie of Violet Imperfection and Leslie tagged me so I am finally…
Let’s decorate for Christmas, tips and tricks…
I love decorating for Christmas! Every year the day after Thanksgiving, I go into the attic and pull down the decorations. This year Lou and Tab were both at work and Tiara was exhausted from Thanksgiving, so Trinity and I worked together while Tiara clapped and cheered. As we started I was happier than usual…
We really do live in a small world…
Monday night I took Trinity and Tiara to Target because I was so tired I had to keep moving or I would collapse. My Mom had given me $100 to buy Tiara some new slippers and a few bras, so I figured it was the perfect time to get this done. Tiara hates to…
Are you sick of hearing about Black Friday?
As you all know, I love finding a good bargain, but I am totally disgusted with Black Friday. Last year I ranted and raved to everyone in the family about Walmart, Target and Kmart opening on Thanksgiving evening. I just didn’t understand why it was necessary to shop on Thanksgiving after dinner. Thanksgiving is meant…
A trip down memory lane…
I have to say I was rather shocked that yesterday’s post was my 2nd most popular to date. I woke up in the middle of the night and realized I hadn’t included a picture and was going to get up and add one and thought “how stupid, Tiffani” your readers will be fine without a…
