My Heartstring: Chai Fireball Whiskey Tea
http://thetwistfamily.blogspot.com/2012/11/chai-fireball-whiskey-tea.html
Friday, November 02, 2012. Chai Fireball Whiskey Tea. A few days ago I came across a yummy looking recipe. On Pinterest. I had none of the specific ingredients on hand, but figured it, like all other recipes I encounter, was more a rule of thumb that could be tweaked, than a law that had to be followed to the letter. Yesterday, on a no-school day, as I sat in a cold house waiting for our chimney guy to fix a leak, I knew it was time to give it a try. Pour in the steeped tea. Keepers of my Heart. Will you...

http://thetwistfamily.blogspot.com/2015/07/vignettes-from-antique-show.html
Monday, July 13, 2015. Vignettes from an Antique Show. One of my favorite places to be is out looking at a thousand or so booths full of old things. So much history. So much potential to add to an item's personal story. And now, thanks to my smart phone (Moto X), I can capture little bits of the experience to share with you. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Keepers of my Heart. Show and Tell Time! Will you please share photos of your finishes with me? Hoffman Distributing Company, Inc. Under a Red Roof.

the wagners five: aging
http://thewagnersfive.blogspot.com/2013/01/aging.html
Monday, January 28, 2013. The other night it was just her and me at home; everyone else was off at some function or another. She asked if she could watch something on TV and since I was still halfway dead with the flu, I happily obliged. Without thinking about it, she informed me that she was going to get on Hulu and watch Modern Family. Season 4, episode 7. the one where Haley gets arrested. Because that's her favorite episode ever. Sometimes it's not easy seeing her grow up so fast. Somehow, he determi...

the wagners five: December 2012
http://thewagnersfive.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 31, 2012. Today, on this last day of 2012. We celebrated "fake Christmas" at home with all five members of the family, (tiny, itty, bitty) snowflakes and all! We welcomed Avery home, and enjoyed all of her gifts (seriously, give a 12yo some spending money and the girl will SHOP) and photos. From all accounts, it sounds as if she had a spectacular time. We deep-cleaned two of the kids' rooms to make room for all of their new stuff, which feels like an awesome way to start a new year.

the wagners five: three years
http://thewagnersfive.blogspot.com/2013/03/three-years.html
Monday, March 18, 2013. And here's big girl Josie, at the ginormous age of five (same park, but with slightly reconfigured playground equipment):. Hmm (one hand) stifled-air school full of other kids germs with no rest and constant stimulation verses (switches hand) fresh air, relatively empty playground, easy natural images to take in, and close to mama. You okay mama! March 18, 2013 at 11:34 AM. Oh and I really need to cut Vs hair. It is chock-full of split ends and, I think, its longer than Josies!
