Confession: I haven’t actually touched my wedding dress since the day that I got married!  It’s in a box somewhere in our basement in the exact filthy state it was when I took it off nearly thirteen years ago!  And to think that I was so careful the entire time I was wearing it!! I […]

For me, it’s all about the small things in life… It’s about coffee first thing in the morning.  It’s about the way the light streams through our window in the evening.  It’s sitting on the couch laughing with my husband and reading bedtime stories with my kids.  It’s the crickets that I hear at night […]

But some […]

Do you ever stop to think about all the people that you pass on the street…or see in Starbucks…or sit next to on a bus?  Do you stop to consider the roads that they’ve taken…the stories their lives tell…or the things you might have in common? The older I get and the more stories I […]
