The holidays didn’t feel like the holidays until my family drove up to Pennsylvania for a last-minute New Year’s Day party with my sister’s family. We pulled together a silly gift exchange (with a couple of real gifts mixed in there, too), threw together a traditional taco dinner on the fly, and had a…
Top 10 Moments of 2014 #PSF
Happy New Year! It’s tough to narrow down a whole year into the 10 most memorable moments, but that’s what I decided to do (it felt like a fitting thing to spend a quiet New Years Eve doing). Here are some of my best memories from the past year (at least those that were…
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas from my family to yours! We’ve had a wonderful holiday, despite the fact that we’ve all been so sick. I hope that you’ve had a wonderful week, whatever holidays you and your family celebrate! And I hope you’ve had a nice break away from the normal routine for some unplugged family time….
Christmas Tree 2014 #PSF
I’d love to say that we waited to buy and decorate our Christmas tree until this past weekend because we couldn’t imagine decorating for Christmas without the whole family together. As it turned out, the fact that we bought our tree this past Saturday and decorated it that night, shortly after our college-aged daughter…

I decided to make some sandwiches for dinner for the family. Other than the fact that not everyone in the house is…

One Family Photo #PSF
Back in the spring of 2008, I asked my sister (who was over at our house at the time) to take a picture of my family in front of our house. Even though my sister is an incredible photographer, the point was not to get the “perfect” family photo, but just to capture all…
Sugarloaf Mountain in Fall #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
My mother-in-law came to visit us last weekend, and we took advantage of the beautiful fall weather and an extra day off school to hike around Sugarloaf Mountain. We made it back with just enough time to eat some dinner before heading out to trick or treat. It was a perfect way to spend…
Halloween Class Party 2014 #PSF
It has been a busy day. A busy, busy day. But despite the busy-ness of the day, I was able to make it to AJ’s 4th grade Halloween class party and school costume parade. As my kids often do, AJ changed his mind about his costume at the last minute – before he left…
