I wish I had the time and energy to meet you out for a cup of coffee and share every detail of our family’s crazy journey with you. And maybe someday I will. But for today you’ll have to settle for a blog coffee date and my random thoughts. I know, I know. My blog […]
I would venture a guess that most of you have at least one student in your life you are shopping for this holiday season. Whether that’s a smart-talking highschooler who thinks they know more than you or your beloved spouse heading back to school for a career change. Show them how much they mean to […]
My husband always winds up being one of the most challenging people for me to shop for each year. Which seems very strange to me, considering he is the one I know the best. But I think it’s a combination of his insistence that he really doesn’t need anything (which, of course, is true) […]
Our kids are spoiled rotten. They have a life here in America, that children around the world wouldn’t even know to dream of – it is beyond their wildest imagination. While I am keenly aware of that every day, the Christmas season seems to hold a constant reminder everywhere I look. We seem to […]

I am coming to you after a long blogging hiatus to give you an update…and as a drastic change of pace, I refuse to apologize for my absence! I have a huge tendency to work towards pleasing everyone around me at the cost of my own sanity. But this is not the time in […]
You guys. I can’t even. I am so excited to finally give you the opportunity to tour my home! We have worked seemingly endless hours finishing all our projects for our #hometransformation2015 and I can hardly believe the time has come that we can say it – WE ARE DONE! We have poured our […]
