Our holiday lights have been up for over a week. Each night they come on, the kids faces light up as if it was the very first time they saw then. They are smiling with excitement as they ask how many days until Hanukah? How many Until Christmas? Our family celebrates both traditions. Bring on […]
And Then There Were Three
Thank you readers for hanging in there with me for this daily blogging challenge! Welcome to day 28 or as I really like to call it…THREE DAYS LEFT!!!! Including this one of course for all of you who know how awful I am at math. Don’t get me wrong. I love writing and this blog […]
The Moments
There are these moments in parenting where we question so much of what we do. Sometimes when everything goes right or close to enough, we can take a deep breath and enjoy it all. Or at least most of it. Being a mom or dad is exhausting for so many reasons. There are articles, books, […]
In The Darkness
Okay, so I admit the title of this sounds deeper than what this will actually be about but I had to get your attention somehow. Right? Growing up we always had a fake tree. There was one picture taken when I was about 3 next to a real one but my mom must have given […]

Something Right
One of the things I will be FOREVER grateful to my husband for is being able to support our family during the year I took off from work after our son was born. We had tried for years to get pregnant. The infertility journey was one filled with emotions I still struggle to even reflect […]
Determination
From the start of my second pregnancy, I knew I was having a girl. I felt awful and completely opposite of how I felt when I was pregnant with my son. By week 15 though, I was good to go! Everything came somewhat easy after the delivery. My daughter was a happy baby. She cried […]
The Fine Art of Being Thankful
The word “fine” implies that it is well balanced and in tune with the subject of conversation. At least that is what it has always meant to me. The fine art of being thankful is trickier to me. Who are we thankful for? How do we show our appreciation? Are we grateful enough? And finally, […]
