I remember looking at my oldest within the hours and days after she was born and thinking, “I never want anyone to hurt this sweet little girl’s feelings.” Was this a weird, random, emotional thought of a hormonal new mom? Probably. Of course, as humans we get our feelings hurt. But at the same time, as […]
Christmas time is here! For my family, that means decorating the tree, making wish lists, playing beautiful music, and reading all our favorite Christmas books as we prepare our hearts to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.

Maybe it’s because I’m a realtor and borderline neat freak, but I never wanted my son to know play dough existed. The thought of it being smushed into the carpet or squished into tiny crevices of my furniture made me cringe. When Leo started two-year-old preschool, his teachers introduced him to their homemade version of […]
We’re a few weeks into summer and it already feels like it’s been a month – in a good way. My older girls are off at sleep-away camp for two weeks, my son and husband are having quality time without me, and I’m getting rare one-on-one time with my 16-month-old for two weeks in Atlanta.
