It’s that time again! Hearts, flowers, candy and so many cute valentines! I love shopping for cards for the boys to give out at school. I enjoy seeing all the clever ways people incorporate our favorite things into this holiday. Speaking of our ‘favorite things,’ I was saddened to learn of the recent death of …
I love that Subaru commercial where the girl is changing a flat tire in the rain. You don’t see him at first, but her father appears just as she finishes and tells her he knew she could do it. As a mom, of course one of my biggest jobs is to be there for my …
The passage of time seems to be hitting me pretty hard right now. My oldest son had his first sleepover this week and it was a big cue to me that he is growing up. Fast. I already nicknamed him, “Gigantor, (adopted from Night at The Museum,) because it seems like every time I turn …
Read. More. That is pretty much the gist of my first mom goal. I come from a family of big readers. While I enjoy reading, I honestly don’t do it enough so I would like to change that in 2021. I want to read more and I want to read more with my boys. By …

Christmas Eve at our home did not disappoint. It was full of all the sights, sounds, and smells that accompany this joyful, yet busy time. Everything is finally wrapped (or should be) and tucked under the tree. Christmas music plays in the background as one by one; items are prepared for the Christmas Eve meal. …
Christmas is upon us and I do not know about you, but it it has all come so fast! I just want to slow down and have an extended stay in my own version of the North Pole. Holiday music, baking, Christmas movies and the anticipation of beautifully wrapped packages being opened by excited little …
It’s that time. The holiday menu. So much to cover! Holiday traditions plus the menu for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Christmas cookies and fun things for the kids. We, like all of you, have our favorites and I am sharing some recipes that we have enjoyed over the years and have become our ‘must …
