Channeling My Inner Martha

I really do think we all have a little Martha in us....I know, I know some of you won't or can't admit it, but I think we all enjoy celebrating with family around a beautiful table, eating yummy food and trying to be gracious and calm while doing it all. As I've mentioned before, kicking my manic volunteering habit has brought out my crafty/domestic side once more and I'm really enjoying it....as are my husband and children who have been the recipient of many more home baked goods lately. ;-)

I thoroughly enjoyed preparing for Clancey's party...probably went a little froo froo, but hey, he didn't complain. My husband said it felt like we were getting ready for the holidays...what a wonderful holiday kickoff event we now have in our family! I know I am going to enjoy these upcoming holidays more than I have in several years....holidays dedicated to the people who mean the most in my life.
