When we first moved into our house, back in April 1998, one of the first things we did was plant a garden. The garden that year flourished and we enjoyed tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers for months. For some reason, our garden has never done quite as well as it did that first year. Our little…
What’s in Your Gym Bag? It’s Time to Sport Some Color.
As a mother of kids who have been on soccer, flag football, and swim/dive teams in just this past year, I know injuries. Luckily, we’ve been pretty fortunate and haven’t had too many serious injuries. Just lots of bumps, bruises, and other pains. But mostly, happy faces, tired bodies, and plenty of bandages. This year,…
10 Reasons I Wish I Lived Close to Family
When we graduated from college and made the trek across the country to settle on the East Coast, we left all of my extended family back in the West.

The Importance of Pictures in Preserving Memory
After my sophomore year of college, my roommate Susan and I planned a trip to Mexico, just the two of us. I had spent the previous summer on a study abroad in Mexico and I couldn’t wait to return. The summer of 1993 had been full of incredible memories – camping in the jungle, climbing…

What To Expect When You’re Expecting – Closet Full of Carter’s Sweepstakes
When I found out that I was expecting my first daughter WAY back in 1996, I was already packing my bags for a summer internship in Russia with CandyMan. There was no time to visit the doctor or even tell the exciting news to our friends and family. I left for Russia, armed with my…
Barclaycard Ring – The Credit Card That Gets Community
Transparency. Community. A place where the customer has a voice. These are factors that are important for me when I am getting to know a new business, whether it’s a restaurant, a house cleaning service, or a bank. Before this week, however, I never expected to find those things – transparency, community, and customers with…
A Mom’s Review of the 2012 Honda Odyssey
Talk to me about transmissions and engines and you’ll lose me pretty quickly. When I am shopping for a new car I am looking for a few very specific things: space (does it hold my family of seven?) features (does it have a DVD player? GPS? Bells and whistles?) comfort (how do I feel driving…
