The Power of Transformation
I’ve been thinking about transformation often lately as a mother. I’m one of those moms with 65,000 pictures. This isn’t even an exaggeration. What is cooler than technology in terms of storing memories? I love Time Hop and even the functions on the iPhone that allow me to go back in time. What was I Continue reading

What if this was the year?
The New Year always brings about a feeling of rejuvenation. A new chapter. A new start. A completely white canvas ready to be painted. It reminds me of the first day of school as a kid. Everything new and untouched, and we had those shiny planners that were intended to keep us organized. If we Continue reading

Giving Thanks
Well, it’s November again! November feels warm and familiar to me, like a childhood friend. I love the connotations surrounding November- thanksgiving, crisp fall, apples and cinnamon, football on in the background, the whole house warmed from a day’s cooking. What’s not to love? A couple months ago I started a gratefulness practice, and while Continue reading

The Main Character
Having kids and working with kids means that I get the perk of staying up- to-date with sayings and trends. How fun? Am I right?! Lately I have been hearing this saying: “He (or she) is the main character.” This means that they’re the star. That they take control of their life. That they’re really Continue reading

Sepia-Tone Memories
Birthdays are always a reminder of the passing time, the embrace of another year. Having four kids means there are more birthdays, and each one brings about a feeling of nostalgia, a lust for time to stand still if only for an instant. Not always, but often, I will catch myself in awe of a Continue reading

Embracing this Season
Life is hectic. With four kids and three jobs and sports and master’s degrees and goals and plans, it seems that we are always coming or going. There is always a soccer game or a sick kid or a comforter that needs to be washed. We always need coffee creamer and diapers. We are always Continue reading

To the Teachers making it Happen
A few weeks ago, my son’s teacher set up a drive through between the hours of 4-6 at his elementary school. The parents were able to stop by and pick up a bag put together by her. When I pulled up, there was a car in front of me, and I couldn’t help but notice Continue reading

Letting go of Toxic People in your Life
There are articles all over the internet about allowing yourself to cut toxic people out of your life. If I’m being honest, my personality requires it. If I find someone toxic, I cut them out like a tumor. Plain and simple. I’ve always been that way. Sorry, but if you hurt more than you help, Continue reading
