Something that makes me sad

Photo included is my dad’s last trip to Disneyland with my family. Ronan was two and I was pregnant with Maddox at the time. Pictured here with my sister and our friend Austin.

“Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don’t, then who will, sweetie? so keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life’s a beautiful thing and there’s so much to smile about.” Marilyn Monroe

Shoe shopping with my partner. What do you think of these?
My current pair has holes in the soles, no good in puddles.

‘Something that makes me sad’ is not having my dad around anymore.
Not just for me but for my boys as they grow up.

St. Nikolaus & the Shoes

1 Reply

I have picked up many a customs and traditions along my life as a nomad. One of these is St. Nikolaus, from my time living in Germany. On the Eve of December 5th, children put out a boot or shoe outside of their front door. In the morning the children find that St. Nikolaus has filled it up with gifts and sweets after checking to see if the children were ‘good, polite, and helpful the last year’. The boys woke me up as they were opening up their goodies from their shoes. There were candy canes, lego figures, toy airplanes, and a helicopter. It is a nice tradition I have enjoyed thus far with my kids. ‘Morty the Moose’ left some moose paper for the boys to make paper chains with today. They enjoyed the craft and we will have fun growing the chain through out the month.
