One morning while I was preparing the dinner’s marinade, playing a game with my son, trying to think what I should write about for the newsletter and at the same time trying to enjoy my morning coffee it came to me. Some modern business people call what I was doing multi-tasking, thinking that they invented the idea.

Quite frankly I feel mothers invented the practice of multi-tasking as a method hundred of years ago in response to being pulled in to many directions. While all this was going on at 8:00 am I could already tell that I was going to have a stressful day and needed to do something about it.

My favorite Christmas song is Feliz Navidad. I learned it in church. It reminds me of a simpler time when the holidays weren’t as stress filled as they are now.

It would be a rambler because of my health I need everything on 1 level and it would be in a very family friendly neighborhood because of my 10 year old son.

I would have a porch in the front and a large backyard so I could have a garden and my son could play safely.

It would be at least 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a huge kitchen with an island because I love to cook.

A family room with a fireplace.

Ohh Yes lots and lots of windows so a lot of sunlight can fill the home. Read More »

The story goes, there were these three trees, and each had grand aspirations of their own. One had dreams of being used for the greatest of homes, an exquisitely crafted beam supporting the most lavish of residences. Another dreamt of being used by a master shipbuilder, and ferrying kings and queens across distant oceans to places as yet unseen. The third longed to grow into the most majestic of trees in the land, and be gazed upon by all for its beauty and grandeur.

Time passed and the trees became worried. None of their dreams were coming to pass. First the tree that wanted to adorn the most beautiful of homes found itself unwanted and discarded, finally nailed together as a trough for livestock. He was sorely disappointed, until one day Mary and Joseph found a need for that trough, which cradled the baby Jesus.
