My Funniest Christmas Memory

I like to have fun & enjoy spontaneity {we willingly stay in the military, right?}, but I’m kind of boring when it comes to Christmas. I just want my family with me, pretty lights, music, maybe snow, and definitely homemade Belgian waffles {with maple syrup} for breakfast. We keep it pretty simple. In order to…

Lovely post! Thankfully, we don’t live in military housing! We actually live 30 minutes away from post, which is the way I like it ;) My husband is spending yet another year in Iraq, and this is yet another Christmas we won’t be spending together. But, we’ll celebrate in July, when he comes home for R&R! ;)

The Best Christmas Present I Ever Gave

This one kind of has me stumped. I mean, it’s not like I don’t give Christmas presents on a yearly basis… I just can’t really think of anything very extraordinary to share. My husband, hands down, out gives me. It’s really not my fault though. We come up with a “budget” and I break it…

My Favorite Christmas Recipe

Finally starting my Wives of Faith Christmas Blog Carnival… It turns out that Saturday is not a very good day to start a blogging series. After spending all morning in the kitchen baking, the afternoon at a photo shoot, then the evening enjoying my in-laws’ Christmas party… the post was never actualized. Yesterday’s topic was…
