This & that...

Hello.  This little blog has been so ignored lately.  These days it's so much easier for me to quick click on IG and go about my day.  Time to sit and blog regularly is not fitting into my very busy schedule of working part time, homeschooling full time and taking care of our home.

Last month we visited NJ and NYC and had so much fun.  The weather was unseasonably warm- so light jackets were all we needed.  Spending time with family and friends was the perfect way to kick off the holidays.

It's nice to finally getting to do the traveling we planned on when making our move to downsize...

Northern girl at heart...

I spent the past week in New Jersey and New York City visiting friends and family for the holiday.   I love everything about those two states, and honestly I feel like I belong there so much more than I do in Texas.

Here is my week in pictures...

First stop was to my sister and brother in laws place- Stone Mill Gardens.  This is my lovely niece  making wreaths for the holidays...
