Monday Murmurings: A Centered Holiday

I love the holidays but sometimes it seems it is always about the hustle and bustle. I love seeing the lights, going to the parties and building the family traditions, but sometimes I just want to sit at home and look at the lights on my tree and cuddle under a blanket and watch holiday movies. I am going to try to find a balance with all exploring the real reason for the season and all the fun of the holiday season. I am going to do this by doing a daily reading plan about Christmas  to give me more insight as well sharing with my daughter the real meaning of Christmas. I think that this will give me more peace, a closer relationship to Him (which would be a present in itself) and more stability to endure the hustle and bustle of the season. I love this time of year and will cherish all the memories made. What will you do this holiday season to be more centered?

Fill in the Blank Friday--Sleep

1.   The last thing I do before going to sleep is         turn on the TV and set the sleep timer . 2.   When I can't sleep I      watch TV until I fall back to sleep   . 3.   The first thing I do when I wake up is     go to the bathroom . 4.   When I'm tired I      can fall asleep anywhere.

It would be shabby chic . 6.   If I could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning it would be        on a porch on a beach house listening to the waves roll in and the feeling the sun rise on my face . 7.   The longest sleep I've ever had was    I a...

Wedded Wednesday: Thanksgiving Traditions

With the holidays coming,  I am thinking about how I want to spend them with the hubby. We do the same thing every year for Thanksgiving and make a road trip to spend it with his family. I usually go shopping on the day after Thanksgiving starting at 3:00am and usually come home and sleep the rest of the day. I was looking at starting some sort of new traditions on the Saturday after Thanksgiving that we can do for years to come. Maybe like putting up the Christmas tree (this is my vote), taking an annual holiday photo, doing some shopping together or maybe doing something relaxing like getting a couples massage. Of course, we will have to throw in some football and lots of left overs whatever we decide to do.Building new traditions, will be the traditions that will continue in our family  and define the holidays for years to come.  Do you have any Thanksgiving traditions?
