The holidays may be over, but for many of us the cold weather is here to stay. At least for a little while.
I am a big fan of bars. Not so much the alcohol-drinking kind – but food bars. And candy bars. And today – a hot chocolate bar.
How fun is this idea?
We have had a candy bar in the dining room for the last few years,

In our minds, we had already built a fence and put in a pool. Then JC decided we were going to move but stay in the same neighborhood. He joked and said we would just “move to the back road” (that’s where all the big houses are). I had plans of giving money to both Compassion and to the Koinonia Ministries in Belize.
School was back in session for us on Tuesday. (and the angels sang!)

There were moments over the 2+ week break that I was ready for that 8 o’clock bell to ring on Tuesday, and there were other moments I missed the flexibility of homeschooling and dreaded the morning drill.

One of my goals the last couple of years has been to remember others’ birthdays and anniversaries.
I love my perpetual calendar that came with my Life Planner from Erin Condren, and I have actually been using it. :: confetti ::
My goal is to mail birthday or anniversary cards for the month at the first of the month. I too try to keep a stash of small gifts on hand for those special people in my life on their special days.
