play creatively
The kids and I had a lot of fun working with Kohls this year to get geared up for back to school. We even put together a pin board with pins to help us get inspired for the transition. The boys are going to a new school this year so we’ve got a lot of …
I wanted to share with you my theme for this year. I’ve had some loose ideas mulling around for a while but a concrete idea finally came after watching the beautiful French film Marie’s Story with my mother over Christmas. It’s a lovely story about a young girl who is deaf and blind and responds …
It’s Monday! which means we’re back in the saddle and trying to get our ducklings in a row before summer is here. CAN YOU EVEN BELIEVE SUMMER IS ALMOST HERE? It’s been drizzly and rainy so I’m happily in denial. I know you’re already scheming of what to do with little bouncy and bored kiddos so …

Jon and I celebrated our 12 year anniversary this past Saturday. It’s crazy to think of the many things we have done together. New York City, Brooklyn, Knoxville, Paris, London, LA, Colorado, Utah…just to name a few destinations we set out to explore together… Marriage is awesome but it isn’t always peaches and cream …
