Every day I consciously look for moments of magic in the midst of my often busy, sometimes crazy days. I hope my moments inspire you to look for your own…
Ok, to everyone who told me I’d be crazy not to jump at the chance to take the kids and join Lee on a business trip to London – YOU WERE RIGHT! It has been three truly magical days, full of unforgettable moments I hope will be forever seared in the kid’s memory banks. They certainly … Continue Reading
Remember that girl who was afraid to travel to Colorado for a ski vacation? Well, that same girl, just got back from a week in Charleston, South Carolina! It was actually Tucker who took me there.

Just like me, my son struggles with organization. Last Friday I urged him to clean out his backpack. He refused. “There’s nothing in there that shouldn’t be,” he said. I pushed. He pushed back.

For spring break, I took the kids down to Florida to visit my parents. Once again I was reminded of the healing power of one of my favorite meditations – simply sitting on the beach watching my kids play in the sand and water. What a gift.

I haven’t written over here much in the past couple of weeks because…well, I’ve been grieving.
