It wasn’t exactly what I had planned for mothers day. And in all truth, I hadn’t really planned much. We always go “light” on holidays. Light in terms of expenses, and expectations. We keep it simple and quality. Good food, […]
My 3 year old doesn't eat. No, that's not true. He eats a lot of fruit, and dairy, and bagels (or other forms of carbs) He loves pizza. And peanut butter. So, in the effort to try and …
We love our island, the home we have built here and the life we are living. We also love that we are continually put in situations where we fall in love with it all over …
Yes, I know perfect is going pretty far here, but we just had a pretty amazing weekend. Sure, there were a few blips in the days (two meltdowns by the 3yr old blip for starters) …
Okay, maybe not awesome, but it certainly got me started. Last year I was doing another year in digital media. Ezine's and events and connecting and inspiring. I had a "little blog" but in all honesty …

I have always believed that age old idea that "Things happen for a Reason" In fact, I wholeheartedly believe it, and feel that the universe usually guides me well. The things that have "worked" for us, …
A year ago, we were in the midst of the week from hell. It was a bad, bad week. It was the week of our life (so far) where we hit rock bottom. We were working …
I have a thing for soup, a big thing. I also like to cook with wine (actually in the food, not JUST the glass) so this recipe gets 2 thumbs up from me. It also is …
It's my birthday, my 39th birthday, tomorrow. This one is easier than the last, maybe because I have adjusted at being so darn close to 40 . . or maybe just because I am a happier …
I am a relatively new blogger, but just like any industry, I am seeing that this one too holds a court full of "diva's" You know the ones, we all know them, and today I am …
