Saturday Relaxation
“When was the last time you spent a quiet moment just doing nothing – just sitting and looking at the sea, or watching the wind blowing the tree limbs, or waves rippling on a pond, a flickering candle or children playing in the park?” -Ralph Marston “Sometimes it’s important to work for that pot of…
Vintage Nostalgia
I often get caught up in daydreams of simpler times. Times when courting was a big deal, when coca colas only cost 20 cents, and when date night meant coasting in your t-bird down to the drive-in theater.

It’s been quite the season for me this year: deciding to train for/run a marathon in the middle of my favorite season was probably not one of…

Life is a more colorful and beautiful adventure since I’ve become your mommy and every birthday feels more bittersweet than the previous: On one hand, I grow evermore in love with your beautiful spirit that glows brighter with each passing year, and…
Laugh-O-Lanterns
So here’s what happened with our “friends” from the other night: A hike to the lake on Sunday morning to have a sunday morning picnic. Joined by my ever so gorgeous baby sister. I love the way she laughs. She just has the most contagious laughter. Have you ever met someone like this? Do you…
