This has been a heavy week around here. With some hard truths about the trickiness of trying to balance it all to an honest confession about my son’s education, I so appreciate you letting me share my heart with you. I love being real about this life, about all the things that grip and stretch us–you know, the […]
Make Your Memorial Day Weekend an Extra Special Staycation
Vacations are a lot of fun, but of course they can also be a lot of work. If you and your family can’t agree on a vacation destination, or you’ve been to all of your nearest vacation spots, or you’re just not in the mood to pack a suitcase and pile into the car, then […]
I’m Tired of People Telling Me My Kid Needs to Be Fixed
Let me be clear from the get-go: no one has actually ever said these words. No, this is purely my sensitive Momma’s heart hearing implications that may or may not be there. And let my appreciation of my son’s teachers and our school district also be abundantly clear. I feel very blessed to live where we do […]
Robbing Peter to Pay Paul
I write a lot about working hard to accept our age and stage in this life, probably because it’s one of the things I struggle with the very most on a day-to-day basis. It never seems fair. Or right. Or like it makes sense. It is that odd 12 minutes you have in between herding children […]
Summertime Gift-Giving is in the Bag!
With Mother’s Day, the end of school, Father’s Day and summer birthdays coming our way, it almost feels like this season is as gift-giving busy as the holidays! It’s no secret that I love to shop, but our tight budget is always a concern. I really like to make sure that the items I purchase are […]
Don’t Let Springtime Allergies Steal the Season!
A few days last week I was pretty certain I was going to die. I was nauseous, fatigued, and the walls kept seemingly leaning to one side. It was unnervingly unbalancing. Then suddenly, I had an epiphany: this was my allergy-related vertigo returning. You see, last year after a whole bunch of tests (and many sobby calls to […]

Thrilled to share this very seasonally smart post by Jane Blanchard! Fantastic ideas!

It’s time to get ready for summer, friends! That means FINALLY bidding adieu to those nasty cracked heels and yucky feet. Just think of the sweetness of staring down at some pretty polished toes while chilling with a margarita in the fresh summer sunshine. Bliss, I know. Good news for you? We’ve got the tools […]
Your Outdoor Haven
So, a bit ago my husband began this crazy beekeeping hobby. Yeah, that’s still happening. While largely the bees do their thing and I do mine, they started hanging out a bit too much around our pool last summer. Somehow the concerns I voiced regarding this translated into my husband’s pressing need to build a pond in our front […]
Take a Minute to Stop and Smell the Roses–and Bring the Kids Along!
Longwood Gardens has been a place my family has held near and dear for years. Our annual Christmas visit, summer strolls under the stars, meeting friends for morning play-dates, spring days out with Grandpa…it’s the perfect place for respite and beauty whatever the reason or season. And the most perfect part? All the gorgeousness is kid-friendly. The first few […]
