My husband gave me an early Christmas present this week, a Canon EOS Rebel T5 Camera! Up until this point I have been photographing everything for this blog with my phone camera.

Harry Potter Christmas Tree
This Christmas we wanted to do something really special and maybe start a new tradition. I give you...the Harry Potter Christmas Tree! We are big fans of Harry Potter. We've read all of the books and have watched all of the movies. Our son, Gabriel actually dressed up as Harry Potter for Halloween this year. We have even made a Hogwarts Gingerbread Castle! So, it wasn't much of a stretch for us … [Read more...] about Harry Potter Christmas Tree
A New Tradition
Our normal Christmas tradition involves putting up a fake tree and calling it a day. Nothing terribly special. No pomp, no zing. This year, I wanted our Christmas to be different.

We started a new tradition this year by going and letting the kids pick out a live … [Read more...] about A New Tradition

Our A-Book-A-Day Advent Calendar

This year, however, is totally different. Since Halloween night there has been a ceaseless question. This question pops up several times per day. I've been scratching my head wondering why the … [Read more...] about Our A-Book-A-Day Advent Calendar

So, here are a few pictures from the fun we had in the leaves this week and one of my favorite autumn poems. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
