The countdown to Christmas has started-just six days left. Do you have a Christmas Tree yet? If not, December 19 is your day, it's National Look For an Evergreen Day.An evergreen is often pictured as a fir tree found and cut down for installation in the home. Many think of a Noble Fir or Douglas Fir as the typical Christmas tree. Yet it can also be a small living fir tree or even an aromatic rosemary shrub.In this photo is my youngest child's cat Prince Hobbes, who has obviously found the right evergreen tree.Images courtesy of owner's collection.Thanks for reading "No Christmas Tree? December 19 is Find an Evergreen Tree Day".

What visit to a grandparent's home didn't feature hard candies-butterscotch, peppermint or assorted fruit flavors. Memories of finding hard candy sweets in my chidhood Christmas stocking still makes me smile. To celebrate National Hard Candy Day on December 19, my  family brought back one of our traditions from my children's childhood. We got out our lollipop molds and made hard candy treats and lollipops to share. Candy making can be tricky. First, gather all of the ingredients before starting, and make sure everything is fresh. If it is a wet or snowy day outside, it can affects whether or not the hard candy will cure properly. Most hard candies are made of sugar, corn syrup and water with flavoring and colors added. To achieve a hard candy, confectioners boil a sugar syrup to either ...

Who doesn't enjoy freshly baked cookies at Christmastime?My family has a few traditional favorites, including Snickerdoodles, and especially the flavorful Molasses Crinkles.Unlike gingerbread or a gingersnap, Molasses Crinkles are soft and comprised of a delicious combination of spices, yet no one spice overpowers the others. They are just yummy! Make a date with your family and friends.This December 18 why not get together and cook up some yumminess and good memories by baking cookies?Images courtesy of www.pixabay.com.Thanks for reading "Bake Cookies Day December 18 The Holiday We Waited For".

As a San Jose Realtor, I've learned to follow my heart and let my passion and fire burn in my soul. I live my life fully, authentically, fearlessly, vulnerably naked and following my heart. I know many people, including those I love and are dear to my heart who feels much differently about Mr. Steve Jobs than I do.  That's okay. We are all entitled to our opinions, thoughts, and beliefs.  The following is only part of a speech Mr. Jobs gave in 2005 at Stanford University.  My purpose in this post is to focus on a few lines in that speech.     You Are Already Naked - There Is No Reason Not To Follow Your HeartBold emphasis added to the last two lines of a portion of the speech. "Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big ch...

As we recover from Thanksgiving's bounty and anticipate Advent, Hanukkah, Christmas and Kwanzaa, there is an interesting "holiday" to celebrate in-between. November 30 is "Stay at Home Because You Are Well Day".If you're like me, that could mean drinking coffee and cuddling with a good book and sweet kitties or watching a Hallmark Christmas movie with your sweetheart. Or decorating the house. Or calling good friends and catching up on the phone.Thanks for reading November 30 is "Stay at Home Because You Are Well Day".

Who enjoys a creamy parfait?Maybe the better question is who doesn't enjoy a creamy parfait?I recently read a great parfait recipe idea for using up that last piece of leftover pumpkin pie.Simply layer some pumpkin pie, vanilla yogurt, granola (or nuts or crushed graham crackers) and repeat, then top with a dollop of whipped cream.Voila! An elegant parfait for dessert.Thanks for reading "Sun., November 25 is National Parfait Day".
