When we first discovered we were expecting, hubby and I had dreams of a forest themed nursery. Girl or Boy, we loved the idea of soothing green tones, natural wood and serene forest animals. (You know, until the child arrives and the whole house is thrown into chaos.) So when time came for our littleRead more
I can’t believe it has been a year since our last camping trip. So much has changed in that time, and looking back seems like watching an old movie. But, nostalgia is a funny thing and sometimes scent, feeling, taste or all three can take you back to a singular moment in time. For me,Read more

Today marks one half of 2015 is gone. Whoa. It has been a crazy year for me, punctuated most recently by the birth of my sweet baby James. But I know for some, the year doesn’t really revolve around the typical calendar. Teachers, students, homeschool moms and many others define their life by the schoolRead more
It is Memorial Day Weekend and you know what that means! Summertime is here! If you feel anything like I do, you spent way too much time indoors this winter and are looking forward to some time outside over the next few months. I am jazzed for backyard barbecuing, for porch-swing lounging, and for walksRead more
