When I was a kid my grandparents would take my sister and I around the neighborhoods and we’d look at all the Christmas lights while staying comfy, cozy in the car. I loved that tradition and CSP & I have continued it. The other night we took Zoe to Starbucks, bought hot chocolate, and then…

This year we celebrated Christmas Eve with my family and we were supposed to celebrate Christmas Day with CSP’s side. But his Gramy had a stroke the week before Christmas. So his parents went to be with her in Minnesota. And then Gramy died on Christmas Day. So once his parents came home from MN…

It’s that time of year again! If you want to exchange Christmas cards with me please email your address to me at heyshanny at gmail dot com. You will receive an adorable Christmas card and maybe even a picture of the pugs & humans who live at this address. :)

Friday night was the annual nursing home Christmas extravaganza. Sara, Jacob, Joey, Momo, her friend Brittany, Papa, Gigi & I all turned out to celebrate with Gmommy. The nursing home put out a yummy buffet of Southern holiday favorites: sweet potatoes with marshmallows, green been casserole, ham, turkey, pies, mac & cheese, the works. After…

Dear Starbucks, Over the summer I searched high and low for the insulated cold drink tumbler until I finally found it online. I loved it. Now it’s the holiday season and you’ve come out with a tumbler with an adorable red and white candy cane swirl. Now, there’s no point in me spending $16 for…
