These Are A Few of My Favorite Things

August 2, 2016

One of my favorite things about being a blog follower is how the experience goes from just following along to eventually feeling like you are taking advice from a friend. As a result of my love for blogs, I have purchased clothes, tried hair styles, decorated mantles, read books, organized my office, discovered health tricks, and become inspired in countless ways! Reading about a solution that an everyday person, just like me, finds enriching to their lives has been really helpful – so here on HALF I thought I would get in on the info sharing action and include a weekly favorites post! Each week I will share one of my favorites things! The topic areas will range from favorite clothes to organizing solutions to health tricks. Really anything that I feel we just can’t live without …. and today a fav summer read! … More These Are A Few of My Favorite Things

Flaherty Family Weekend of Fun

July 26, 2016

Two weekends back we celebrated a fun filled weekend of Flaherty Family! The Flaherty’s are the extended family on my mom’s side. We are all sorts of loud… excited…silly… crazy…full of opinions and with countless stories – that we like to repeat often! These little moments of regular life – barbecuing, catching up on the deck, sitting in the pocket of sun with my Ganmommy – are the things you will cherish and carry with you… and I am so glad on that weekend we got to just do life together….

There is not a season in which I can’t recall some sort of family gathering with this group. Growing up as one of the more local families, I have been blessed with the gift of celebrating all occasions from baptisms to weddings together. Any excuse we find ends in some sort of large meal and event that extends well past the expected hours of daylight and is sure to leave you tired, but happy (most of the time). … More Flaherty Family Weekend of Fun

Breakfast with Jesus

June 26, 2016

This past week while enjoying my vacation from the office on Thursday I opted to have breakfast with Jesus. So that is a little casual, what I mean is that I participated in our parish’s current 14 days of adoration for freedom of religion. For my non-Catholics, adoration is when the Holy Eucharist is left  … More Breakfast with Jesus
