Hi there, and Happy Friday!
Well, we’re one week into the New Year. Are you still sticking with your resolutions? Do you have all of your decorations taken down? I took my tree down the day after Christmas, and started to reorganize my attic while we were closed. It’s a sickness, but I love organizing and cleaning! Just ask my mother how many times I’ve tried to help her clean out her basement! Unfortunately, I like to clean like the TV shows – 3 second decisions and throwing away or keeping. It’s bad for people that want me to help them clean, but good for my own house. I hate clutter! That is one of my New Year’s resolutions: get rid of the clutter in my life. Drop the things that take up valuable time, clean out closets and dressers and cupboards, and whittle down to the basics.
What is your resolution? I’d love to hear them!
Have a great weekend,
Anne
Hi there, and Happy Friday!
I still can’t get over the fact that we only have one more day until January. How has your week been? Are you busy thinking about those resolutions?
I don’t know if I will have an actual “resolution” this year. I’m might just carry over mine from last year, and maybe add another one… or ten. I’m pretty proud of how last year worked out, so I’m going to make 2012 another great year. I’m going to work on being less stressed out, keep my money in check, and take time for ME and learn to say NO when I need to. It’s always such a hard lesson! I’ll be spending time figuring out what makes me happy, and really dedicating myself to that. Life is too short to be miserable for even one day!
I hope the first week of 2012 will be great for you. I’d love to hear how you’re planning on sticking to your resolutions!
Have a great weekend,
Anne
Hi there, and Happy Monday!
With Christmas Day over, it’s on to the next holiday! I don’t mean New Year’s, but Valentine’s Day! I know we’re not even into January yet, but February 14th will come faster than we know it. This is one of my favorite Valentine’s Day pieces, designed by Tina Ledbetter. For this and more, check out our Valentine’s Day category on our website.
Have a lovely week!

Hi there!
Today is my brother Neil’s 29th birthday. He’s the one in the middle, between me and our brother Jon. I am very much looking forward to him joining me on this side of 30 next year.
Can you tell we like to have fun together? Jon’s my travel buddy, but Neil is my UFC fight night, my pizza and wing night, and of course, the dad to my #1 favorite nephew. I don’t think anybody pushes my buttons faster than him, and he’s had 29 years to perfect that. He makes fun of my driving, makes fun of me in the car, and pretty much makes fun of me whenever he can. But, at least I can pronounce “Burger King”, “Valentine’s Day” and “envelope” correctly. He can’t. Don’t you just love sibling rivalry? But honestly, I love both of my brothers with my whole heart! They are my best friends forever.
Before I end this post, I will tell a funny story about my brother. When we were all little, Neil was the only one with blonde hair and brown eyes. Both Jon and I have dark hair and blue / green eyes. Jon and I are also “bigger” than Neil – he was always a bean pole! Thankfully he’s thickened up over 29 years. We used to tease him nonstop and tell him he was adopted. One night at dinner, he wouldn’t eat something that the rest of us love, and of course, in true brother – sister fashion, Jon and I had to remind him that he was adopted. He got angry and yelled, “No I am not! I found my birth certificate!!! I am not adopted!” Poor guy felt so bad about our constant teasing that he went through my mom’s dresser and found his birth certificate! I think I felt really bad for about 2.5 seconds, and haven’t looked back. Poor kid! Looking back at pictures of us and of our parents, I’m now 100% sure that he is related to me. I guess I’ll claim him.
Join me in wishing Neil a very Happy Birthday! I love you! Enjoy the year, brother. Once you hit 30, there’s no looking back! But don’t worry… I’ll be reminding you of that for the next 12 months. I wouldn’t want you to forget about it!
Hi there, and Happy Friday!
If there is one thing I love about the holidays, it’s food. Yeah, it’s nice to hang out with family, but come on… There are some foods that you just wait for all year! My Grandma’s pumpkin roll is one of them. We only have it on Thanksgiving or Christmas, and we all love it. My cousin Katie and my brother have been known to violently fight over the last piece. Last year, she decided she was done making it. Slowly but surely, she’s trying to pass all of the baking to me. She bought me a pizzelle iron, and now this. Last weekend, she decided to give me, my mom, two of my aunts, and my cousin lessons in the art of pumpkin roll. It’s all from scratch, and made with love. We ended up making four rolls! Absolutely delicious!
I know how that the tradition will be kept alive in our family, and that’s the best lesson of all!
Now, on to make the pizzelles….
Have a great weekend!

Hi there, and Happy Monday!
I can’t believe we have less than 2 weeks until Christmas! I plan on spending my week wrapping, baking, shipping, and shopping. My nephew has been getting into the spirit of things, too. When my brother lived in Wooster, my mom and I decorated his apartment for Christmas while he was at work one day. He made the mistake of giving me a key! My nephew found the tiny tree we had set up for my brother, and it’s now his new best friend. He wants to sit by it every day, wants the lights on constantly, and carries ornaments around all day long. Don’t worry, there isn’t any coffee in that cup! He just likes to pretend so once my sister in law and I are done with our drinks, we rinse out the cups and he has a good time with them.
With his “coffee” in one hand and his ornaments in the other, he seems to be all set for Christmas! He was “helping” his babysitter wrap some gifts and set them under their tree. After a minute, she realized he hadn’t come back from putting a gift under the tree. She found him with unwrapped gifts, trying to get toys out of the packaging. Yep, I’d say he’s definitely ready!
Are you ready for Christmas?
Have a great week!

Hi there, and Happy Friday!
Like many of you, I’m now trying to get my Christmas shopping done as soon as I possibly can, so I don’t have to rush out Christmas Eve to pick up gifts with the crowds of people that wait until the last minute! My brother and I used to wait until Christmas Eve and have a whirlwind of a shopping day, usually ending up buying tons of gift cards out of frustration. I’ve been put in charge of buying a specific toy for my nephew. I don’t understand how it works, but it’s a coloring or painting pad that he can draw on, and it won’t run off onto the carpet. I love buying him toys and books, puzzles and stuff like that. It’s funny that I spend the money, though. Right now, he gets a kick out of playing with little balls of scrap yarn from my Grandma. He likes to unravel them, twist up in it, and walking around trailing it from room to room. Then, he takes it back to his dad to wind back up. Here is a picture of the two of them on Thanksgiving. They look like a couple of cats, occupied with that yarn!
Is it crazy to spend the big bucks on toys for toddlers? Or should I just give him a cardboard box, some yarn, and a stack of scratch paper to rip up and spread around the house? What do you think?
Have a lovely weekend!

Hi there, and Happy Friday!
Like I posted on Monday, I spent some time down in Wheeling, West Virginia at the Oglebay Resort with some of my friends last weekend. We wanted to check out the Festival of Lights, and we weren’t disappointed! My friends and I love Christmas so much, but never really are able to spend a big chunk of time together celebrating over the holidays. We took the two hour trip down to Wheeling to do some Christmas shopping, and check out the sights.
Over the weekend, I spent some time doing some Christmas shopping down at Oglebay Resort in Wheeling, West Virginia.
I snapped this picture in one of their many gift shops! What a beautiful display of our collegiate line! Of course, I root for Ohio State… and thankfully, they had a great grouping of OSU items! They had a wonderful selection of holiday and everyday product, as well.
If you’re looking for our product in Wheeling, don’t forget to swing through Oglebay!
Have a great week!
