Taking Stock: December Edition

Once in a while when things get hectic, the only practical things to do is to write a list.  But really, I think this is good practice regardless of the stage in life, so I think this should be done more often.  Here’s the December edition of what’s up…

The winner.

Loved Vera’s face in this one…Sophia’s eyes? Bummer, dude.

  1. Ok, so, how long are you and your adorable family in SD?! I've seen you twice now and before I could say "hi", you were gone. I ran into your kiddos at the library in Aberdeen and saw them again at the Frontier Christmas in Sisseton. Small world. Hope you are enjoying this holiday season and that you will find just the right house soon. Have you read the book "The Nesting Place" by Myquillan Smith? It is so totally like your style of decorating. You'd love it. And so glad that so many readers of your blog have read "The Book Thief". It is a wonderful book.

  2. The Book Thief is so good! I need to watch the movie too:)
    When I heard you were moving to MN I totally had a vision of you being BFF's with Nicole Curtis!

  3. I LOVE REHAB ADDICT. Seriously! I wish we cable because I buzzed through the first (and only) season on Netflix right now. Humpf… ๐Ÿ™
