Huzzah for Historicals!

Every year in February, we take a trip to visit the Arizona Renaissance Festival. We had a great time this year - our son was even called up to participate in the plate-spinning and juggling shows.

My cat is my coworker now

Since I move my desk to my new spot last month, Pepper has been a frequent visitor. She sits and looks out the window while I write.

Pepper plays with the kids every morning before school, but when they are gone we sit down and get to work. I even keep her kitty bed under my desk so she can curl up for a good cat nap when needed.

In my own little corner...

I'm a bit dust-covered! My husband and I spent the weekend rearranging the furniture in our room so that I could have a nice little space in the corner for my writing desk. Of course, my "write like a girl" print is hanging on the wall, and I'm can't wait to do just that!

Pack up the tinsel, it's time to get busy!

I hope you all had fun and festive holidays! This year two out of three of my kids made it to midnight on New Year's Eve, but they were extra crabby the next day.

Dashing through December

This month is going by too quickly! I feel as though if I blink, I will miss a few days. We have our Christmas tree up, and the kids wrapped their presents for each other. It was exciting because my son that struggles with some of his motor skills was able to wrap presents on his own for the first time this year!

November is flying by!

I can't believe we are almost to the end of November! Happy nearly-Thanksgiving to my readers from the U.S. We had excitement this week as my oven broke (the repairman said it was for good this time), and I am crossing my fingers that our new one arrives and is installed in time for Thanksgiving! I hope so because I'm really hankering to bake some pies and pumpkin muffins!
