    Ringing in the New Year!

    ByMary Crozier January 7, 2020January 7, 2020

    Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that’s the stuff life is made of.  ~~Benjamin Franklin Holiday decorations started coming down yesterday. It is tradition to leave them up until the Epiphany (January 6th). Technically, my “new” year starts this week. It feels good to get back into a schedule! Here are my top priorities for 2020! Being more organized and efficient. Perhaps my most productive time in life was…

    Happy New Year!

    ByMary Crozier December 31, 2019December 31, 2019

    It is hard for me to believe that we are beginning a new decade. It feels like yesterday that we were celebrating the beginning of a new century. The concept of time is so fleeting, isn’t it? In a blink, 20 years has passed. Most “new” years, I am excited for the fresh beginning, the…

Today, I am just enjoying the rainy day and the blessings the season brings. I can’t believe another decade is ending soon. What will the next 10 years…

    Countdown to Christmas

    ByMary Crozier December 14, 2019December 14, 2019

    This week we had our annual neighborhood board holiday party. Nothing like having guests to motivate you to get things done! Unfortunately, I failed to take any great pictures, as I was too busy setting everything up. Photos taken in natural light are the best and of course, these were done in the evening. In…

    My Holiday Dining Room

    ByMary Crozier December 10, 2019December 10, 2019

    I am so excited to share the holiday changes to our dining room this year. Every year, literally, every year, I have done the same thing when it comes to holiday decorating. When your holiday decorating is repetitive, it’s difficult to imagine the space differently. I was a bit stumped on what to do but…
