My Everyday Life: Week 52

Here’s what this past week looked like- My Everyday Life Week 52

When we were going through my mom’s car we found the Christmas crackers she bought for Christmas. I brought them down and we added them to the table.  She is still helping us create good memories!  My sister in law set such a beautiful table.

    Okay, so I have followed you and Joy in various forms of blogging and social media for years and missed what “Maj” stands for- reminder?

    Happy New Year!

    “Mom, is that you?” Yes, yes it is!

  • Jackie

    Been thinking about you and your family a lot these past couple of weeks. I’m glad to see you coming together and celebrating – it’s what your mom would want, based on what you’ve shared about her over the years. I’m proud of you for that. None of this has been easy and I’m sure sometimes it feels like you can’t handle it. You are, though. Together. Sorry if this sounds creepy.. it’s not meant to! Really, I’m trying to say I’ve found your vulnerability, honesty and strength very inspiring. /hugs. /signed a long time reader and fan

  • Lori

    Love,love,love that you have Cooper writing his own thank yous!

  • ELLEN

    I can only hope to be so well remembered by my own children as your Mother is by you. It is your finding of her in the little things that is so sweet. I do have no doubt that my children will be finding bits and pieces from me too, as I buy things and hide them away to forget just where ( sometimes surprising myself)! Cooper is the most handsome lad, those eyes! I’m pleased that you encourage writing thank-you notes, well done. I do wish you a Happy New Year… it will be a different happy of your making.
