Really? Truly?

Seriously?

What was Arby’s sauce-naming department thinking? “Bronco Berry Sauce”… Fa. Stinkin’. Real.

Any guesses? Methinks they might have been under influence of some other kind of “sauce”… Say, like… “It’s 5 o’clock Somewhere Sauce”. Perhaps…

All Full

8 years and 3 children have filled our tree. Year after year, I have tried to make our Christmas tree the “charming” that my style longs for it to be. I give.

This year there is no room for me. Who lost the memo that reminds everyone that everything is all about ME? My tree has no room for my “darling this” and “dang-awesome that”. Nope. It is filled with the ceramic ornaments the kids have painted each year at our local paint-your-own-pottery place. There are the annual “character” ornaments - The Incredibles, Veggie Tales, Princesses, Kitties, Star Wars, and Spiderman. There are the school-made ornaments - with their school pictures, made of Popsicle sticks or foam paper, and covered in glitter, embellished with sequins, silvery pipe cleaners, and pom-poms.

I thought giving up on MY tree would be more painful. I guess the tree isn't the only thing full around here. As I look at this mish-mash of decorations I feel full, of thankfulness. I am so thankful for my 3 tornadoes that take me for a spin every minute of every day. I am honored it is their precious hands that have created the things that adorn our Christmas tree.
