The Perfect Imperfect Nativity

Beth Ann Chiles/ Holiday/ 11 Comments/ 686

A repost with a few changes because it deserves to be reposted. Growing up in a minister’s family was a good experience for me.  I have heard many bemoan the fact that they were preacher’s kids but not me.  I loved it.  I loved the Continue reading →

Christmas Comes to Brevard

Beth Ann Chiles/ Holiday/ 6 Comments/ 822

It’s Christmas time in Brevard, NC and our annual Christmas parade and official Christmas tree lighting occurred last Saturday. It is a great event and one that draws a pretty big crowd. Chris and I popped into town for a few hours to enjoy some Continue reading →

Christmas is Coming!

Beth Ann Chiles/ Charity, Holiday/ 6 Comments/ 366

If you know me well you know that I don’t decorate for the Christmas holidays until after Thanksgiving. Never have and probably never will. I just like to enjoy Thanksgiving and all of the things that come with it. But It is about this time Continue reading →

The year is winding down and I probably will be taking a break from blogging until the new year rolls around . With family coming I will be focused elsewhere and I have been too busy to get posts scheduled out. But honestly – y’all Continue reading →

Did You Say Aluminum Tree?

Beth Ann Chiles/ Holiday/ 13 Comments/ 545

Every year the Transylvania Heritage Museum, located in Brevard, North Carolina, hosts a very special exhibit and I FINALLY got to see it. I have tried for years but their hours of operation just never seemed to work with my schedule and I let each Continue reading →

Beth Ann Chiles/ Holiday/ 7 Comments/ 456

Last year I shared several posts of a great nativity exhibit that was held in our town at St. Philip’s Episcopal Church. I was thrilled to see that they were going to hold it again this year and Chris and I marked off time on Continue reading →

Christmas Blessings

Beth Ann Chiles/ Charity/ 7 Comments/ 496

I know you are thinking to yourself — c’mon Beth Ann. It isn’t even Thanksgiving yet. Why on earth are you writing about Christmas? That’s unlike you! You never decorate your house until after the Thanksgiving stuff is all cleared up and put away. Well, Continue reading →

If you know me well, you know that not only do I collect teapots but I also have a small collection of nativities that come out of storage at Christmas. Today my bookshelves are cleared and I have my nativities displayed as well as I Continue reading →

It’s Christmas at Biltmore

Beth Ann Chiles/ Holiday, North Carolina, Photography/ 14 Comments/ 628

We kicked off our holiday season a little early a couple weeks ago with a visit to Biltmore Estate for their nighttime viewing. Our son, Aaron, had a friend that was singing with a group in the Winter Garden area in the entrance area of Continue reading →

Christmas is Coming – Teapot Tuesday

Beth Ann Chiles/ Holiday, Tea and Teapots/ 20 Comments/ 817

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. I haven’t decorated yet but it’s coming. I always wait until after Thanksgiving to decorate and this year it may not happen until the weekend due to quite a few other commitments. I am fine with that. Continue reading →

Old Girls in Low Cotton
by Helen Childress
This short book was one that looked like it would be a fun read. I honestly did not enjoy it all that much---it was a lot of characters bickering and while some of the writing was witty and funny it was not that kind of book that made m...

The Good Girl
by Mary Kubica
I loved this book! It had my interest from the very first page and was my "airplane" book on a recent trip. Author Mary Kubica created believable and interesting characters that the reader learned to identify with and care about. Mi...

All the Light We Cannot See
by Anthony Doerr
This is quite a book! I had it recommended to me by several people and while I thought it might be a little dark and depressing it made me have a better understanding of what life in this time period was like. The strength of the huma...

An Abundance of Katherines
by John Green
Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
