The Birthday Gift

by WineCountry.Mom

Today is my birthday. It’s not an important birthday, just a number on the way from a number I really liked, creeping towards a number I’m not really looking forward to. Just a regular birthday. For the past week I have done my best to celebrate it with all those close to me so that I could spend today in a more quiet way. Thursday I went roller skating with some of my closest friends. Over the weekend I went to San Francisco with my parents where we perused various stores inundated with holiday décor and wintery cheer. Later this week will be spent in a wonderful local getaway from reality trip with Mr. Wonderdul. Today? Just quiet reflection on a great year that I had, and my plans for the year up ahead.

I woke up early this morning before my alarm even went off. I fixed my coffee and then checked the mirror for any new wrinkles that might have appeared overnight. So far, so good – just the same ones that were there the day before. I sat with my coffee and newspaper, my daily egg and toast breakfast and a little Iron & Wine music on the iPhone to keep me company on a quiet morning. The kids’ alarm went off, and my son crept downstairs.(Read more…)

Weekend Family Fun, Dec 5th – 6th

by WineCountry.Mom

You know what I love about the holidays? It seems like everyone is in the holiday spirit as they decorate their homes and businesses, and the reasons to get together and celebrate multiply. As the weather turns a bit crisper, breath comes out in puffs of fog against the chilly air, and cheeks are a bit rosier behind wool scarves and hats, the smiles are contagious as each town celebrates this festive time of year. Do you know what you’re doing this weekend?

Letters to Santa

by WineCountry.Mom

Every Christmas, my mom’s piano is covered in pictures with Santa. There’s the one of me as a baby, cradled in Santa’s arms. There’s the one of all three of us girls crowding Santa. There’s the one of us holding onto our youngest sister to keep her from bolting. There’s the one of us and our cousins as teenagers, all sitting on Santa’s lap while he was either grinning widely … Read More »

Weekend Family Fun, Nov 14th – 15th

by WineCountry.Mom

There are several great events going on this weekend. But since we are officially in the holiday season, I want to urge everyone to do what they can to help others who are in need. I have included a couple of very easy ways to give of yourself and not break the bank. Our children benefit when we make community service a habit in our households. What they witness of us is something they will carry into their own lives. Use this season to start a trend that will benefit your soul as well as the lives of others.

Other People’s Junk….

by WineCountry.Mom

After the rains at the end of the week, the weekend’s sunshine made the whole world seem new. While still holding that autumn chill in the air, the sky was a promising shade of blue that beckoned to us to be outdoors and soak up some rays from the sun. Our kids were gone, staying with their other parents until Sunday afternoon. Mr. Wonderful and I were left to enjoy … Read More »
