All we want for Christmas is...

{s} Celebrating the holidays is always full of family and traditions.  We knew this year would be different after the sudden passing of Mike's niece, Allie. Even though this was a difficult time, it was important to cherish our family moments together and reflect on happy memories.

Our festivities began on December 22^nd when we hosted the annual White Elephant Gift Party with Mike’s family.  With the family arriving later that evening, I had plenty of time to clean up the house and bake cookies as well as prepare bacon-chicken roll-ups ('cuz I am not a fan of the traditional sausage sandwiches they all swoon over).  

{m} Hold up.  Just to clarify, the sausage sandwiches are...AMAZING!  They were my mom's secret recipe that my family doesn't just swoon over--they would kill for.  Ok, now back to her perspective...

2019 - New Year, New Blog!

I’m not one who likes to make New Year’s Resolutions…I find it cliché, kind of like roses on Valentine’s Day.  However, I’m all about setting goals; something that can and should be done any time of the year.  So, on this new day in a new year, Mike and I have decided to put into action a goal we’ve both shared – writing a blog.

I’ve considered blogging off and on for a while; there have been many times throughout my adult life where my father would encourage me to write a particular story down so the humoristic details of the event could be remembered.  And, in the course of our marriage, Mike and I are constantly baffled at the absurd situation we find ourselves in.

The writer (and sarcasm) in both of us helped to persuade us into capturing our crazy stories, adventures and Murphy’s Law mishaps into a blog.  But – we didn’t want to do things in a traditional manner, so our stories will be told from a duel perspective; Mike {m} and Sarah {s}.

And while not every story will be butterflies and rainbows, we seek to find the bright side out of every misfortune, frustration or chaos.  That said, buckle up ladies and gentlemen, it’s going to be AllBrighty!
