What to Watch on ABC this Christmas Season

Christmas has always been my favorite holiday. I’m sure that many will say the same and for any number of reasons. I look forward to this time of the year and I am eager to start new traditions and share old traditions with my family. One of the many things that I like to do when it comes to celebrating Christmas, is watching old (and new) movies and television specials. I am one of those people who will watch a movie on TV, even if I already have it on DVD. Did you know that ABC has already announced their 2016 Christmas season line-up? It all kicks off on Black Friday! FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27 “Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town” – In the perennial favorite…

Comprised of the New England states (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont) and the Mid Atlantic states (New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania); this part of the country explodes with color. And for us, that means making a lot of day trips in and around Albany. Day trips are a great way for us to spend time as a family and a mostly budget friendly way- depending on where we’re going. From leaf peeping all…

“This post was sponsored by Evenflo as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I received the Evenflo Sibby Travel System to facilitate my review.” When people think about traveling in New York, they tend to think of two places: Niagara Falls or New York City. But there really is so much more to explore around here. Take Albany, for example. We’re the capital city and there is so much to see and do in the greater capital region. And quite a bit of it is free and easy to get to. We’re fortunate to live in a smaller, quieter neighborhood that’s close to the bus stop. And now that I’m watching my niece Boo-Boo on a regular basis; it also means that Squeaker…

All opinions are mine alone. #RoadTripOil #CollectiveBias Summer usually means spending more time with family, whether that means staying local or heading elsewhere. For us, it means staying within our budget but still having fun. One of the best ways we can do that is by planning local day trips. But, before we hit the open road to a nearby location, we make sure that the car has been taken care of. An older vehicle with plenty of use, Kyle’s SUV has been good to us. And in return, we want to make sure that we’re good to the car. That means staying on top of routine maintenance by following these 8 essential…

Vegetable gardening was our choice of garden when it came to planning a garden last year. We went with a container garden last year but this year we’re going to try for a raised bed in addition to the large containers. We’ll see how it goes, of course, and I will be sure to share our progress.

I learned a few things and hopefully I won’t repeat the same mistakes. This year will be different because I’m actually going to plan a vegetable garden this year instead of just trying to wing it.

I would argue that while yes, love is definitely important; you need more than that for a relationship to truly thrive and survive. You need patience, understanding, respect, humor, growth, humility… I could go on. There is so much more to a relationship than love. And, unfortunately, sometimes it really isn’t enough. When a marriage breaks down and a divorce happens, sometimes you may think that it’s the end and love will never find you again. Or you may be so bitter from the divorce that you rule out love and relationships all together. While…
