How to plan a memorable Christmas party – Part 2
Many people forget amid the search for the best turkey and all the trimmings that the main ingredient to a memorable Christmas party is congeniality. Take that away from the recipe and you may well have a Christmas party which is remembered for all the wrong reasons. It’s the time of tidings of comfort and joy, rather than anything else, and congeniality is easier than many think. Trying too hard to please those guests may actually detract from the pleasure of the event, as the emphasis should be on providing them with a party atmosphere which spells Christmas as a special time of year shared with people we care about.

However, the day comes when they face the inevitable: the visit to a maternity clothes store, either for a special occasion outfit, or to browse the plus size maternity clothes section in search for the most flattering solution to their style dilemmas.

Special places,
Long embraces thoughts past and present,
Never without meaning, or there would be no special in these places,

The Coral Reef- Dining Under the Sea
During every Walt Disney World vacation we take, we like to try at least one new restaurant we haven’t eaten at on a previous trip. One of the new locations we tried this last trip was The Coral Reef. I’d read rave reviews online and thought it would be a fantastic addition to our list of Disney reataurants we’ve eaten at.
Our wait was minimal as we made an Advanced Dining Reservation for five o’clock. Early by most people’s standards, we like to keep our meal schedule on vacation similar to our home schedule. We were seated at a four person table on the highest tier. I was a little upset that we were not Read the rest of this entry »

No CommentsWedding planning woes: How to avoid wedding disaster
We set our wedding date for September 18, 2004. Early autumn was perfect, not too hot, not too cold and had historically low precipitation. Having gotten engaged in October of 2003, this was a date that was still open at my husband’s traditional place of worship and also the banquet hall we wanted. We got started on plans quickly, assembled the wedding party, booked the church and banquet hall, chose the attire, the menu, the guest list etc . . .We got down to the night before, when we had scheduled the rehearsal dinner.
