Tales of the Traveling Tote, Winter Days

Happy March!

Time for Tales of the Traveling Tote,

our quarterly stories of our recent adventures

with our favorite MacKenzie-Childs tote bags

This feels frivolous with what’s going on in the world

but I have learned that it is important

to retain a sense of normalcy in times of crisis

and I pray that peace will come…

I am happy that winter is in the rear view mirror

and Spring is on the horizon…daffodils are starting to bloom!

Miss Coquille and I met Emily and Miss Courtney Childs

for a celebratory birthday lunch in early December

Emily’s birthday is the 7th and mine is the 11th…

The restaurant {Seasons 52} greeted us with a birthday card

and a complimentary glass of champagne 🍾🥂

Our family Christmas was fun filled

Then we headed to the beach house for the week before New Years

The weather was warm and amazing!

Back to the city after New Years…

I hibernated most of January, it was very cold and wet

I kept my spirits up with a little Winter Sparkle

After Valentine’s Day we headed to the beach house again

for the long President’s Day weekend

No swimming this time as our pool sprung a major leak!

A new liner has been ordered and fingers crossed

we will be back to pretty blue water soon

Mardi Gras fun was in full swing on the coast!

We happened on a boat parade of pirates

They showered the kids with beads and trinkets

And then it was back to the city and Happy Fat Tuesday!

So Happy March, 🥂 and here’s to Spring,

warmer weather, and the flowers it will bring!
