Long Time, No See

It has been a very long time since I’ve posted anything here, but I’m making a lot of changes in my life, especially now that Jackson and Noah are getting older and more self-sufficient. I want to take more time for me and share the things that I’m enjoying with other people…not that I think…

Identity Crisis

It has been over a year since I posted last and a lot has happened. Ben and I welcomed a beautiful baby boy into the world on October 30th, Noah. He was 5 weeks early and his birthday is only 4 days apart from his brother. Here’s to many years of joint parties! Now that…

One Year Ago…

I Won’t Do That When I Grow Up!

How many times growing up did you tell your parents that you’d never do what they did when you have kids, or never say what they said? How many times since you’ve “grown up” have you caught yourself doing exactly those things? I know I do it all of the time. I remember when I…

Why I’m Falling for Autumn

Though I’ve been celebrating since Labor Day, today marks the official start of fall and this is, by far, my favorite season. When I was younger, I loved the summer because I’d go to the beach, hang out with friends and relax. Now that I have a home with no air conditioning, a job and a…
