Mother Nature has been so, so kind this Halloween. Enjoy this beautiful day!

She's also building a make-up empire and blowing up Facebook with wildly entertaining videos and tutorials. She makes everything look easy, which is why this blog is just that much more important.

I am no poet, I am no novelist… but I am here to tell you a story of the time it took all day to set up a Christmas tree. We purchased our Christmas Tree at 10am. We placed the first strand of lights on the tree at 11:30am We played, we snuggled, we napped at Noon. We placed the second strand of lights on the tree at 4:30pm We “asked” Colin to “help” us at 4:35pm We placed the first ornament on the tree at 4:45pm We placed the third strand of lights on the tree at 5:00pm We turned off the overhead lights at 5:15pm We placed the fourth strand of lights on the tree at 6:00pm W e removed ornaments from the bottom branches at 6:15pm Mommy places the last ornament on the tree at 6:30pm Mommy and Daddy snuggle Colin to sleep -- because we wouldn’t have it any other way . 7:00pm “For every year this Christmas tree, Brings to us such joy and glee. Oh Christma...
