To say I love Christmas music is an understatement. I just love the feeling I get in my heart when I hear it AND when I sing it. I’m currently having the itch for a good old fashioned sing along. I want to invite all my friends and family over to have a few drinks,… [Read More]

St Patty’s Day Fun {best of the blogs}

Milk & Cookies for Santa
This is a big Christmas in the Lane household. It’s the first year that Bug even remotely gets the idea of Santa. So it’ll be the first year that we leave out cookies and milk for Santa Claus. I have fond memories of picking out which cookies we were going to leave for Santa. Some… [Read More]
A Healthier Holiday with the American Cancer Society {pumpkin bread recipe}
Every year the holidays roll around and as much as I love them, my body groans a little. It pretty much means six to eight weeks of non-stop eating.

Happy Thanksgiving!
We’re supposed to leave for Virginia today. I’ve been running around like a crazy person trying to organize kid’s clothes, travel cribs, sippy cups and all the food I’m supposed to bring. So far this morning we’ve had a scream fest over the fact we have no more yogurt, the baby tried to flush the… [Read More]
Christmas Trees: Real or Fake?
My entire life, I have always had a real Christmas tree. I know that every family is different and each has its own traditions. Luckily, when I married my husband, he was on board with the real tree too. Our living room area has super high ceilings, so we always get a huge tree. We’re talking… [Read More]
