I am so blessed to have a husband who cooks up healthy, diverse, ethnic meals for our family. As a child, my father did all of the cooking and it's apparent that I've taken after my mother when it comes to culinary skills. One of my goals this year has been to increase the amount of meals I prepare at home and decrease the number of meals eaten out. When my husb... Read More »

As an only child, I spent a lot of time with my parents. We played games, took day trips to the beach, shopped, and baked. Baking is a hobby I've retained as an adult. My husband often jokes that I "need to go bake" to relax when I'm stressed. Before my son was diagnosed with food allergies, we baked everything from muffins to cakes from scratch. While we still ...

My son has discovered the fine art of coloring...and painting....and markers...and chalk. Our laminate floors are often colored with a new shade (fortunately crayons are the only things we allow him to use in that room). While our little artist discovers the Van Gogh within him, I'm checking the boxes to make sure the bite he took won't send us all to the ER. I ... Read More »

Almost every room in our house has at least one picture of my son. And while all of them are special and represent memories that are permanently etched in my heart, one stands out. I recently worked with Photofiddle to create (well, they did all of the "creating") an absolutely gorgeous piece of art out of a photo taken this past November. The company specialize... Read More »
