DIY Book Nook: Owl Bookstore

Earlier this week I finished my first book nook kit. It was a little challenging but that is ok.
I love how it turned out. This kit is from Cutebee.

Last of 2024 - First of 2025

 The last photo of Riley I took in 2024. She did not care that is was New Years Eve and she did not care about any ball dropping

The next photo is the first photo of RIley for 2025. I took this one on New Years Day.

Happy New Year 2025

 

Today begins a new year.
A year that my husband will not get to see.
Another year without my son.
Another year without my parents.
Another year of an irrational fear of death and dying.
Another year of panic attacks.
BUT...also...another year to live and to be alive.

Hold your loved ones close and let them know
how much you love them....not just today, but every day!
Tomorrow is never promised, so live life to the fullest.

eCard of the Week #602: New Year's Plans

 

I finally nailed down my New Year's Plans.

A Very Riley Christmas

Riley got three toys from Santa Paws. 

She was not very thrilled with stopping playtime just to get a photo.

Then she got a fun rope toy from Aunt Tami and Uncle Mike,

and a Santa plushie from Grandma.

Riley have a fun Christmas. At the end of the day she snuggled up on the couch

 with her Santa plushie and fell asleep watching How The Grinch Stole Christmas.

Christmas 2024

 As we celebrate this holiday season, we are lighting a candle in honor and in memory of those who have gone before us. Though they are not here with us, they are forever with us in our hearts.

My candle is lit for my son, Colt, my husband, Steve. my parents, my grandparents,my father-in-law, Chuck and for all those that cannot be with us this Christmas.
