My kids are in Pre-K and 1st Grade, and already we are feeling the tug of a go-go-go lifestyle. Between soccer, baseball, school functions, and church, sometimes it feels like we never stop moving. What will it be like when they’re a little older and want to add music, dance, and other sports into the mix? Yikes. With our busy schedule, the crockpot has become my new best friend. I…
I ran to the grocery store yesterday to pick up a few items. Little did I know that a special six-hour sale was going on complete with free samples on every aisle and employees handing out candy. Apparently they were trying to purge the store of Halloween items to make room for the Christmas displays. Christmas? We haven’t even had Halloween yet! And so it begins…the Holiday Season.

I’ve been in a rut, and I couldn’t figure out why until a few days ago. I was helping a friend shoot some food photos for a fundraiser, and it…
Lately I’m thankful for cool evenings watching little guys swing big bats. For boot weather and shopping for vintage goodies on Instagram. For museums that expand our minds and let us get our hands dirty. For finishing off our baseball season with friends and gum. For starting the offseason with Dr. Seuss in the backyard, and endless games of croquet. For new friends at the farm, and game night shenanigans.…
Today is World Food Day. A day to not only open our eyes to the issue of chronic hunger, but a day to take a stand against it. I can’t feed the world. But I can feed Chereka. I can’t feed the world. But I can feed Reymart. I can’t feed the world. But I can choose to partner with an organization that creates a sustainable future for those who…
