Christmastime
I love Christmas every year that it rolls around, but there’s one particular Christmas that stands out from the rest. Back in 2005 (hard to believe that’s over ten years ago), my family and I celebrated Christmas and New Years in Greece. It was a chance to spend some time with ...

Four Words
Salted. Caramel. Chocolate. Cake. Back in July, we celebrated Alex’s birthday with this delicious cake. I started this post shortly after making it in an effort to share it with all of you ASAP, but it has remained in my drafts until now. Oops! In any case, the end of September has m...

We Love the Olympics!
These first couple of days of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games remind me how much I loved watching them as a kid, and even still today, as an adult. They’re exciting, engaging, and there’s just something really cool about the whole world coming together in the name of talent and teamwork. I...

Beating the Heat
What a summer! And I’m talking about the heat. It seems like our summers have gotten hotter, in general. Is it just me?! I always say that the really hot days are still too few to justify installing an air conditioning unit in our home. Except that those really hot days are increasing in fr...

Mother’s Day
Motherhood has been, and continues to be, the most beautiful and incredible ride. It’s fun, it’s fulfilling, it’s feeling and expressing a love you didn’t quite know existed, and it requires you to develop a thick skin pretty quickly in order to roll with the learning curv...

Say a Little Prayer for Fort McMurray
I’ve been working on a fun Mother’s Day post to share with you, but with yesterday’s news of the devastating fires in Fort McMurray, I felt compelled to switch gears a little bit. Rarely do I engage in conversations around politics or environment, mainly because there are such s...

And Then There Were Four
We have been a family of four now for the last two and a half months (or if you’re counting the nine months of pregnancy, that would make it 11 and a half months!) and it’s been a whirlwind of embracing our newest family member with more love than we ever imagined our hearts capable [...

We are a family of four! But first…
Well, hello! Sincere apologies for my absence on here lately, but as you may remember, we welcomed our second daughter last month and we’ve been indulging in all of that newborn magic. And, let’s be honest, adjusting, cause a house with a toddler and a newborn requires adjusting. For ...
