December 29, 2015 By: Staceycomment

Time to ring in the New Year! Exercise Eat right Quit a bad habit Look familiar to you? There is nothing like going 365 days and then thinking, tomorrow will be different.

Shhhh…Don’t Say The “C” Word!

December 23, 2015 By: Staceycomment

‘Tis the season for the party where under no circumstances should you say the “C” word. This is in spite of the fact that the entire party was created because of this word. But shhhhhh, don’t say it. Maybe this time I wouldn’t. The day before this gathering, I looked at lots of baking recipes. […]

The Gift That Was So Much More

December 22, 2015 By: Stacey9 Comments

My husband and I had been trying for over a year to get pregnant. It was feeling hopeless and most of the time, it felt like any world I was trying to create was falling apart before it even began. There were doctor appointments and tests. Hopes were raised and fell faster than a rain […]

December 6, 2015 By: Stacey1 Comment

Dear Kids, Spinning a dreidel and lighting a menorah by a Christmas tree is not something you will see all of your friends doing. In fact, some of them may look at you kind of funny when you mention it and that’s okay. Perhaps some of your friends here where we live do not know […]

The Fear In Our World…Can We Bring Change?

December 2, 2015 By: Staceycomment

The world scares me. Every time the news is on, we see anger and hate. There is so much of it out there. You can argue that there is also good if we look for it, but it has become more difficult to find. Terrorists. Shootings. Threats. Lockdowns. These are words that are becoming more […]

Driving home last night, I was mesmerized by the holiday lights all around. Was it possible that it seemed like there were more than usual? Perhaps people had put up more to make this year brighter. In the background, my Christmas music played on the radio and I took the very long way home. It’s […]
