I would like to introduce you to the newest member of our family....

We have a new member in out family. "Santa" brought her Christmas morning. She is amazing! She is doing very well with potty training and is a great little gal. Her name is "Kennedy" as in First Lady Jaqueline Onasis Kennedy. The kids were given naming rights and this is what they came up with. We have begged my husband for 15 years for a dog. He finally gave in. We overheard him sweet talking her outside! What a hoot! Kennedy is a Piebald Dashund.

I have the after Christmas blues. Every year that my teenagers get older it gets harder to let go of the holiday. I try to cherich every moment. I know every thing has it's time and season but I am not ready to let go.

I hope you all have a wonderful and blessed New Year!

Lordy, Lordy I survived turning 40!

Girls I did it! I suvived my 40th birthday and it wasn't so bad after all. It doesn't feel so bad...except for the nasty cold and sinus infection that came with it!

I have been blessed with wonderful family and friends and they made my day very special!

I want to wish all of you a Merry Christmas! I know there are many who are hurting this Christmas. This time of year can be very hard on those of you who have lost loved ones and many people have lost there jobs. My thought and prayers are with all of you this holiday season wherever you are. I hope you have a blessed holiday.

Much Love,

Daisy Rae

My best friend Lisa

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas........

When the moon becomes a snowball
and stars twinkle on the trees,
When we tell our friends we love
them along with our families,
When everyone bakes cookies and
gives most of them away,
That's when the spirit of Christmas has come and blessed our day.

Welcome to our humble home. Come on in and take a peek. We fill it each year with love and memories. It may not seem like much to few but we love it. The red room is my teenage daughter's. She loves theatre and we tried to reflect her personality in her tree. One of my favorite decorations is my wire tree. I am collecting vintage ornaments for it. Please excuse the nasty cords showing. I have since fixed that. I just hate it when cords are showing...... I found the Velvet Santa below at a local antique store. I just love him! Thanks so much for visiting.
