Okay… here we go. Another year… and another session of family pictures. They always sound so great when you schedule them. You’ve got weeks, if not months. You’ve got time to get your hair done, lose a couple pounds, find something to wear for yourself and your entire family… and then it’s here. Out of […]

That’s the amount of sleep that I usually get a night. And in no way is it ever… go to sleep and wake up five blissful hours later. It’s get the kids to bed, get stuff ready for the morning, finally crash, wake up to a crying baby, rock back to sleep, there’s usually another […]

So, here we go. It’s officially begun! The journey of taking off the pounds that being pregnant packed on. Things have changed. . . oh, have they ever. From high school when we seriously at pizza, breadsticks, and soda for lunch every day, to even my first pregnancy eight years ago. Because now I’m 42. […]

How lucky am I to have been loved by her? My grandma, Evelyn Hansen, passed away last week. She was 97 years old and, man. . . did she live every single second of those 35,000+ days. Growing up, my memories of her are filled with laughter, cooking, baking, gardening, card and game playing, and […]
