Where were you for Blizzard 2011?

February 3, 2011 by Amelia

Yesterday made me question our judgment of leaving Florida. Just a bit. It took my husband a couple hours to dig us out of the 18 inches of snow on our driveway. It was a good day to be a mom. I kept the water going on the stove refilling mugs of hot chocolate and […]

January 28, 2011 by Amelia

Read a new/new-to-you author It’s no secret that I love books. I recently discovered a treasure box full of my childhood books. As I stacked my old friends in a pile next to me, I was amazed at just how many books my family had bought for me while I was growing up. When I […]
