New Year’s Traditions

Posted on December 28, 2017February 12, 2018 by Cheryl

This post is actually about New Year's, and not a continuation of my rambling about the Shah Rukh Khan movie (though I could go on for hours!)... That being said, it's that time of year again! The holidays are quickly coming to...Read More

Happy New Year

Posted on December 27, 2017February 12, 2018 by Cheryl

A couple of weeks ago, we moved my son's crib (now converted toddler bed) into our bedroom to get him used to sleeping in his own bed. He actually slept alone in his own bed for the first time the...Read More

The Joy of a Snow Day

Posted on December 9, 2017February 12, 2018 by Cheryl

As a kid, I remember loving the snow in the wintertime. Snow meant snowball fights in the backyard, soggy gloves, hats, and scarves, hot chocolate, sledding and building snowmen. It was so easy to find joy in snow as a kid....Read More

Finding Joy in the Pain of Labor

Exciting things have been about in our household. We welcomed our new addition last week, which is why I haven't written in a few days. Little Katie couldn't wait to see the world and arrived in a mere 3 hours...Read More
