As fall wraps around us and, we start preparing for The Holidays. Halloween has come and gone. Thanksgiving is on the way. And Christmas will rush up behind it. As the days get shorter and shorter, we try to squeeze more and more into each day. It’s exhausting. And in all the rushing and running,…
I’m not great with correspondence. I’ve been known to miss a birthday here or there or finally get birth announcements in the mail a few months after the baby was born. But Christmas cards are my thing. I love sending out cards each year. And, since it is something I do only once a year,…
In our house, and I’m sure in many houses, Christmas is a time of presents, presents, and more presents. Sometimes there are so many presents at once, that some of them just get lost in the shuffle. So what if there was a way to spread the presents out all year long? Kids Prize Pack…
“Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree” — EEK! It’s coming!! Not even CLOSE to ready, yet I do have my Christmas cards. Are you one to procrastinate and get them out last minute? OR, are you like me and want to get them out the day after Thanksgiving? We have a fun family tradition (like many,…
I love to give practical and thoughtful gifts. My grandparents recently moved from their spacious home into an apartment. They had to get rid of all their knickknacks and of course downsize. I was looking for a thoughtful gift that wouldn’t take up their new space. Everyone loves Yankee Candles, but a personalized candle is…
I was first introduced to Little Elliot, the little elephant who lives in the big city, last year and immediately fell in love. I was initially drawn to the art work, which is beautiful, but after reading the story I was in love. In the first Little Elliot book , author Mike Curato gracefully…

Because you can sign up for them, forget about them and then get surprised every month with something new on your doorstep. As…
Coffee is a staple in so many people’s lives. It is served at almost every event you attend, and it seems most people enjoy it in some way. Some drink it throughout the day to stay awake, some enjoy a cup in the morning to get their day started, others enjoy a specialty drink out…
Christmas is right around the corner, and this year is going to be extra special for our family with our baby girl’s arrival just about a month before. I am excited to start new traditions with our two little ones over the next several years. I love to carry on traditions from our own family…
I LOVE taking pictures. My kids have the insta-smile down pat and have even grown to love our little picture-taking traditions: the outdoor red circle at Target, the toilet paper aisle at the supermarket (I don’t know how this started but I am powerless to stop it), the “I just built the coolest LEGO robot…
Raise your hand if you like puzzles. Now raise your hand if you like doing a puzzle only to realize pieces are missing. How about the noise a puzzle piece makes when being sucked into your vacuum? Or the mess of a half-completed puzzle sitting on your living room coffee table. What if I told…
