Today would have been my mom’s 69th birthday. My dad, sisters and I always like to do something in her honor in April…either on the date she died (April 2) or for her birthday. Losing a loved one is never easy, and it leaves a hole in your heart that will never quite be filled. Or […]

Have you ever been on the receiving end of a random act of kindness and left speechless? That’s how I found myself Sunday afternoon at the Children’s Museum of Denver. I was there visiting with my girls, feeling inspired every way we turned, but the Art Studio was our favorite. My 7-year old, Caitlin, loves all […]

Yesterday was a day off school/work in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr.   I loved seeing all of the posts and quotes shared, but wondered how many people actually took the time to appreciate the significance of the day and the life of Dr. King. I’ll admit, the majority of our day he was not […]

Around the holidays, I always have big ideas and high expectations.  I want meaningful gifts for everyone, positive traditions for my kids that don’t revolve around toys, to send out the perfect holiday card, and create a blissful, calm atmosphere at home. I’m sure you can imagine, things never turn out exactly how I hope. Does this sound […]

I know it might seem strange, but after the horrific attacks on Paris Friday, I have been overwhelmed with this deep sense of love. Okay, not right away. Shock, sadness, and disgust were my initial reactions. The problem of hatred and terrorism is vast and can feel overwhelming. Hopelessness, grief and anger can consume you. […]

My mother is a strong, smart, and beautiful woman who is wife to Gerald, […]

Have you seen Kid President’s Pep Talk? If not, you definitely should watch…almost 35 million views is an indicator of how great it is! A few weeks ago one of our good friends, who is 9, was trying on a suit for his Aunt’s wedding and broke out and recited this entire speech! His Mom […]

Today is the one year anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombings. We moved to Boston 4 months after, but from the moment we came the love, compassion, strength, unity and resilience was felt throughout the community. Boston Strong is exactly how I would describe the city’s response to the terrible tragedy. Today would have also […]

Black Friday and Cyber Monday have all come and gone and many people are completely done with their shopping.  I have the bad habit of waiting until the last-minute to think about holiday gifts, which typically means I end up spending more money, make impulse buys and am not satisfied with my purchases. This year […]

Have you thought about what truly brings you happiness? A few days ago my 4 1/2 year old was in a crying frenzy because she couldn’t go somewhere with her brothers and their friends. She was tired, so it was overly dramatic and I was having a hard time consoling her. I carried her to […]
