Like the past two years, I'm entering into the new year with a word that is meant to guide me; a word that represents what I want for the year, what I'm going to strive for and hope for. Last year my word didn't come easily to me. This year, it seemed to bark at me from every angle, making it impossible to...

I want to remember the way you say "mmmm" when you eat something you really enjoy. I want to remember how when you get a hold of something you know you shouldn't have, you turn to us and hold up your index finger close to your face as if to say, "I just want to play with it for a second!" I want...

It is 12:15 on a cool, Saturday afternoon and my son has just gone down for his nap. With a steaming, black cup of coffee beside me, I finally have a moment to sit and get some of these thoughts out of my head. I feel as though I have reached an all-new level of exhaustion. This one is different from the debilitating...

"A portrait of my child, once a week, every week in 2014"To date he hasn't shown even the slightest interest in stuffed animals. When I spotted this Mickey toy, I had a feeling he would adore it. Turns out, he can't get enough of it, and carries it around constantly, always tucked closely against him. It was meant to be a Christmas present,...

I'm going to ask you for your help at the end of this all, but first, a little story. I have this thing with my kitchen. I seem to never be satisfied with how it looks. I want to change this, I want to change that. I don't like the positioning of this, or how much counter space that takes up. It's a...

  December is my favorite time of the year. Visiting with friends and family over seemingly endless cups of hot coffee (sometimes laced with Baileys, yum), giving gifts you know the other person is going to love, seeing the wonderment on your kids faces as they stare up at the Christmas tree. It's my favorite, hands down. So naturally, fresh out of Thanksgiving...
