Mamas Night Out

I love hanging with my friends. Now that our kids are getting older, we can finally prioritize spending time away from our families. After the kids are asleep we meet up to craft together, enjoy good food, strong drinks and first-rate conversation. We laugh, we share, we cry (tears of laughter and sorrow), we unwind and relax. It’s precious and I dearly treasure every minute spent with these gals.

Here’s a glimpse from last weeks adventures together.

Gotta love girl friends.

Celebrating the Light

We’re cherishing these moments of light brightening up the darkness in our rainy, cool California winter.

Each night, we eat dinner to candlelight. We sing holiday songs, such as this emphatic rendition of “I have a little dreidel!”

Each morning, we wake up in the dark. Now we tiptoe downstairs and turn on our tree. Suddenly the early morning wake-up routine feels so much more bearable (for Mama!) with a beautifully lit tree welcoming us downstairs each day, as we watch the sunrise.
