"In order for there to be new growth, there must be a time of letting go" -Danielle Orner As I reflect on this past week, I realize I have been gently letting go of a lot of "stuff" lately, and especially this week. There has been a letting go of items around the house that... Continue Reading →
(in case you're wondering, after a wonderful day of celebration and reflection yesterday, life is officially back to normal today) So . . .yesterday the WHO announced that red and processed meats lead to an increased risk of colorectal cancer.

Today is a milestone in my life. Â A day to remember where I've been, to think about where I am, and to dream about where I want to be in the future. Four years ago today when the alarm went off at 4:30 in the morning, I had to try and kiss my sleeping little... Continue Reading →

It was pretty much a cuteness overload when all 6 cousins changed into their matching jammies on Sunday night.  And it was even cuter when the 5 of them that are old enough to walk ran outside to see how their jammies glow in the dark.  And it's crazy to think that this was the scene...
