Continuing our discussion of all things Easter, stemming from yesterday’s post, today will offer more interesting facts about this holiday that many of us celebrate. I occasionally contemplate how many of us are blindly celebrating, or participating in a holiday, that we are entirely ignorant of in the context of history and origins. I’m not … More How much do you know about Easter? (part two)
New Year’s Eve, for many people, is an evening to be celebrated. It marks the conclusion of one year and the start of another, and plenty of us like to come together with friends, family and loved ones to celebrate, usually within the confines of some sort of party or get-together. I was contemplating whether … More How do you celebrate the New Year? (part one)
Continuing our discussion of Easter and some interesting information about it, I have to say I’ve already learned a thing or two from the information provided via goodhousekeeping.com. I’ve always enjoyed the holiday, but my mom takes the cake in terms of being an Easter feign; it has always been her preferred holiday, arguably because … More How much do you know about Easter? (part two)
This past Wednesday was my 29th birthday. I don’t feel obligated to hide or shield my age from the public quite yet as I haven’t yet hit 30; I can’t for certain say I won’t start to withhold my age after I pass the 30 threshold, but for now, let us enjoy some transparency regarding … More Here’s to birthdays
Today is a joyous day – I should probably stipulate that I wrote this post on January 12, so we are speaking in past tense, because the 12 of January just happens to be the day my big sister, Danielle, was born. Danielle has never been overly keen on making a big fuss about her … More Don’t be so quick to dismiss a birthday
A few days ago, my dad’s side of the family got together for a lovely dinner to celebrate my Nagymama’s (grandmother, in Hungarian) birthday. We tend to celebrate her birthday with the entire family every year, and this year was no exception. We went to Devlin’s Country Bistro in Mount Pleasant and enjoyed a tremendous … More Let’s make pecan pie
I would like to begin this post by sincerely apologizing for my absence here on my blog these past few days. While I don’t condone my absence, nor do I think I should be making excuses for it, I should mention that on Saturday, June 25, my fiancé, Blaine, and I got married. Again, not … More Our wedding day
On February 6, my parents will be celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary. It’s a pretty big one, if you ask me, hence why I’m writing a post about it; I think 40 years of a lot of things are worthy of recognition, but especially marriage. I think it’s safe to say I’m a bit biased … More Cheers to 40 years, mom and dad
As we all know, today is Father’s Day. It’s a day to celebrate dad’s everywhere and recognize everything they do for us, and ultimately to show our appreciation for them. Whether it be biological dads, step-dads, foster dads, adoptive dads, or father figures, today is for them, and for good reason. Dads are pretty awesome. … More Here’s to dad’s everywhere
I think it is safe to say that anyone celebrating a birthday in the midst of the Coronavirus outbreak is feeling a little underwhelmed with their special day. Social distancing and an inability to participate in large gatherings certainly makes the concept of celebration a little difficult, therefore a lot of us who have had … More Making the most of COVID-19 birthdays
Social media, as wonderful as it can be, can simultaneously be destructive towards those who make use of it. And by destructive, I’m referring to the inevitable occurrence of comparison that comes with social media. It’s extremely difficult to avoid comparing ourselves to others when we’re scrolling through our social media timelines. We compare ourselves … More Stop comparing and start celebrating
The other evening, my mom encouraged to take a look at her latest Chatelaine magazine. I’m not normally an avid Chatelaine reader, but after flipping through the June/July edition, I have to say I’m thoroughly impressed. The cover of this issue of the magazine features a striking woman in a bathing suit. The image is … More Have you heard about #ShowUs ?
The recent passing of my Oma has encouraged me to contemplate the concept of both funerals and celebrations of life. Although I have never attended a celebration of life, I know many people who have, and by the sounds of it, they’re a lot more meaningful than funerals. Don’t get me wrong; funerals are important. … More Funerals vs. celebrations of life
