Tag: Bronner’s Christmas Wonderland

Friday Photo Flashback

I was at the store this week and they already had Christmas stuff out! We continue to rush the holiday. However, up near me in Frankenmuth, Michigan we have "The World's Largest Christmas Store" - Bronners. I mean, everything Christmas is in there. The amount of ornaments is overwhelming! You have to visit if you … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Making Spirits Bright

I saw a thing on Facebook that made me laugh.  It said, "It only snows in November because people decorate early for Christmas." Blame me if you wish, but we needed to brighten things up over this way!  There has been a lot going on in my life, some of which I have shared and … Continue reading Making Spirits Bright →

Christmas in September

To say that the past few days have been stressful is an understatement. There have been some very good moments and I tried to just take them all in. However, something was on my mind all weekend. I'm not going to get into detail on that. I could, but I won't. Let me just state … Continue reading Christmas in September →

2021 – What a Year!

At midnight tonight, we'll start a brand new year - 2022. Some have compared a new year to a book. The book with 365 blank pages - one for each day - and said that the book is ours to write. There is truth to that. As I looked back over my "book" entitled "2021," … Continue reading 2021 – What a Year! →

Twas The Weekend Before Christmas …

Three more days until Christmas. I don't even know where the time has gone, but the holiday is FAST approaching! This past weekend I was pretty busy, and at the same time there were plenty of wonderful family moments together. After working four days and coming home, I feel like the kids have grown and … Continue reading Twas The Weekend Before Christmas … →

Gearing Up For The Holidays

I feel like I haven't really blogged about "life" lately. I kinda feel like I haven't really even had a minute to sit down and write. Between wacky schedules at work and an even wackier sleep schedule, writing has been a challenge. So here are some highlights from the past couple weeks.... Right after Halloween, … Continue reading Gearing Up For The Holidays →

A Wave I Want NO Part Of (and other thoughts)

The Beach Boys sang the surfing hit "Catch a Wave" back in 1963. They were the kings of "surf rock" and their songs had a "happy" sound that made you wanna grab a surf board and head to the beach. Today, when we talk about waves, it has nothing to do with surfing. The wave … Continue reading A Wave I Want NO Part Of (and other thoughts) →

Wednesday Worries and Thoughts

Covid-19 Am I the only one that starts to freak out if I get one of the symptoms related to Covid-19?!! Monday, I got one of the symptoms (I will refrain from saying which one, but I visited the bathroom often), and my first thought was "Please don't let this be Covid!" I called in … Continue reading Wednesday Worries and Thoughts →

Reflecting on 2019 …

As the year draws to a close, I have pondered about what I wanted to write about.  Some of the blogs I follow have posted "Year End" Top Ten lists featuring their 10 most read blogs of the year.  Others have written rants about the old year, and posted resolutions for the new year.  Yet … Continue reading Reflecting on 2019 … →
