The Baby Sirens

Eleven days old and eyes not quite opened yet. The pictures are much more blurry than I’d like–

but we were nearly frantic to get them before Dali came and snatched the babies out of our hands. Which she is more than happy to do if they make the slightest peep.

She’s kind of a weird mom. She acts like she doesn’t trust us AT ALL.

As if we’ve ever gobbled up any of her babies before.

Sheesh.

So our quest is to hold them as much as we can without them setting off the alarm bells…

which then triggers mama, and she comes running. Seriously. One meow and it’s all over. If we don’t put it back in the box she will take it herself. It’s nuts.

Oh, yeah. We didn’t make it. Party’s over. Here comes mama.

Little nark.

 

It’s Time

My new day planner for 2026 is a rare kind of inspiring for me–and I’m not sure why exactly. I mean…I’ve had dozens of dayplanners–right? This one looks mystical and magical and full of fairy sparkles–which, of course is a big deal and very, VERY important…

but I’m still not quite sure why I feel like something is different.

It could be this.

Let’s go.

 

 

 

New Year’s Eve Fondue

It’s become an incredible tradition to have Fondue on New Year’s Eve. Cheese and Chocolate to satisfy all the sweet and savory cravings of every single soul on this night–the last night of 2025.

We are each tasked with bringing at least one sweet and one savory dipper. My job is to show up with a boatload of pretzel bites…which I did. Thanks for the help Jessica & Rhen. With our family ever expanding, the dippers are becoming more and more amazing. Strawberries, cheesecake bites, Little Smokies, pretzels, potatoes, apples, pumkin bread…and it goes on and onnnn!!

One of the best nights of the year!!

It was beautiful, and lovely and some parts even made me speechless! That’s a first–haha. But more about that later.

Merry, merry Christmas Everyone!!
