Holidays

Look at the holidays in the same awe and wonder that a child looks at their tree. Decorating the tree should be about family. The holiday should be about family. It's not the money spent, the presents, or the big meal that matter - its about getting together with those you love, gathering as a family, sitting around a tree, and relishing in the magic of the season.

I used to despise Valentine’s Day. That is, until my husband implemented “The Valentine’s Day Dance Party” and turned it from awful to awesome! Sorry all you V-day lovers, but for many years I called it the worst holiday of the...

2020 has been a weird year… and it isn’t over yet!  One thing I always looked forward to as a kid was going to the mall to see Santa Claus.  As I got older, I couldn’t wait to share...

This year I am so excited that Christmas is over!! Don’t get me wrong - I am a Christmas fiend!! I decorate everything in my house, bake every recipe (and subsequently gain fifteen extra pounds for the New Year), and I do it all with three crazy kiddos between one and six underfoot. So this month, in my mind, I was FINALLY going to get a break from the planning, and especially from the two Elves on the Shelf who joined our family last year (yes we have two, and they are married). The new year was supposed to be the end of the extra ‘magic’ for my six year old. A break from trying to find creative poses for the elves, or inventing a big story about how the elves set up the baking supplies and then left and went back to the EXACT spots they were when my daughter went to the bed the night before. But sadly, my break is not anywhere in sight just yet.
