They say it goes by so fast, but how in the world did I end up with a 5 year old! I remember being pregnant with Walt like it was yesterday! He seems to have gone from toddler to little boy in the blink of an eye. But, what a charming and lovable little boy…

We have come to terms with the fact that New Year’s Eve will be celebrated a little differently than we used to. I know it’s a short-lived thing, and dare I say I kind of enjoy the low-key celebration? Someday the boys will want to stay up until midnight (or at least 11) and watch…

Merry Christmas, y’all!  I’ll admit it! I love Christmas! I love the hustle and bustle. I love all the gift shopping. I love the decorating. And, now that we have kids, I just LOVE seeing Christmas through their eyes.  Don’t get me wrong, I get overwhelmed like the best of us, but I truly try…

I love how this time of year forces us to acknowledge all of our friends and family.  These girls. They are framily. They are the ones you can pitch your wildest ideas to: “Wanna go to Vegas to see Britney?”; “Wanna go to Mexico…next month??”; “Wanna Netflix and chill?”; or even something as simple as,…

Today was a day I had envisioned since the day I found out we were having a boy (let alone two). My sisters and I are not delicate flowers, but we also weren’t in the ER all the time (unless you count asthma visits, and, don’t worry, we are already gold card members of that…

Every year, the boys’ school puts on a great holiday program.  The kids sing holiday favorites, while the teachers and parents mouth the words and mimic the dance moves in the audience. This year was no different. We had an outdoor performance at the Villages of Fairview, which was a nice change of scenery from…

With Thanksgiving behind us and Christmas full steam ahead, I wanted to recap all the fun things we did this fall. I’ve blogged about a lot of amazing highlights like Vegas and Napa, but lots of other little stuff occurred and I don’t want to miss those memories. Like my other seasonal recaps, we’ll do…

Turns out, we’ve spent a lot of hours and minutes in the air this year. Between my job, which sends me to California about once a month, and just a lot of travel opportunities, we were on the go much of 2015. So, when I realized my company’s user conference was in downtown San Francisco…

We had another fun year of trick or treating.  I’m still thankful that the boys aren’t into scary costumes, but apparently they are stuck on super heroes. I guess I should be happy by this.  My only rule was they had to be different super heroes than last year. We have such an incredible neighborhood….
