As pink fades to white, the calendar turns from October to November. We celebrated and honored breast cancer survivors last month…pink ribbons were everywhere spreading awareness of the disease. But did you know that November is lung cancer awareness month and that white is the ribbon color for this cancer that is the number one […]
holiday cards
One of my favorite things about this time of year is sending and receiving holiday cards. Our entire family enjoys going through the mail every evening and looking at the cards that arrived that day! Even though we keep up with most of our out-of-town friends and family on social media these days, it is […]

My oldest daughter, Audrey, celebrated her 21st birthday yesterday! Wow…21 years! I’m the mom of a 21 year old…wasn’t I just a fresh-faced 21 year old myself… I feel like it’s such a big milestone birthday, so I’m sharing my thoughts on motherhood in today’s post.

camp care packages
It’s a bit quieter at my house this…actually it’s A LOT quieter! Claire left for two weeks of summer camp on Sunday. Grace is also in China for two weeks…she flew to Beijing last week. And their trips overlap a week, so Audrey is the only one home this week (and she doesn’t make much […]
strawberry blondies
It’s strawberry picking time! We love this short season of picking those sweet berries! I think I’ve taken my girls on our annual outing to pick strawberries since they were old enough to walk…back then they didn’t always remember to pick the ripe berries. When we found out that OUR LOCAL BERRY FARM was ready […]
my new york city food journal
If you read yesterday’s post you know that our family traveled to New York City over the holidays. I shared all the THINGS WE DID while in the Big Apple…Times Square, Statue of Liberty, a Broadway show, etc. When traveling to other cities, it’s always fun to find restaurants that are unique to that city […]
new york city trip
You may have noticed from my Instagram posts last week that we rang in the new year in New York City! It was a surprise for our daughters…after unscrambling some “clues” on Christmas morning, they discovered that we were going to NYC. Mixed in with their “regular” gifts were wooden letters that I individually wrapped. […]
happy 2018!
Happy New Year! Can you believe it’s already day five of 2018… I celebrated New Year’s Eve (and the first few days of the year) in New York City with my husband and daughters. We surprised them with this trip on Christmas morning…can I just say surprises are hard to pull off when your kids […]
plaid tidings to all…christmas cards
It seemed like we had extra time to tackle that holiday to do list this year, since Thanksgiving was a bit earlier…but somehow I’m a little later than normal getting my Christmas cards in the mail. I think they’ve arrived to most friends’ and families’ mailboxes by now, so I’m sharing them to all in […]
a thanksgiving birthday
Thanksgiving is going to be a little extra special at our house this year. For the first time since Claire was born (2006), her birthday falls on Thanksgiving Day. Yes, she was a Thanksgiving baby. That wasn’t the original plan. Her original due date was December 10…but with my history of big babies, my doctor […]
