That is exactly what happened this past weekend… zero plans. My husband played in a hockey tournament in town so Evelyn and I got to hang out,Read more
One of my goals for this year is to read more books. I spend so much time reading little bits and pieces of news, social media and emails. I realize this is how society works these days. We are fast-paced and want the short version of whatever we’re working on so we can move onRead more

Christmas Eve ended up being pretty rough for Evelyn. We were traveling and hoped she’d fall asleep in the car, but of course that did not happen. By the time we got to the party, she was already a bit cranky and it didn’t help that she was fighting a cold and teething! She ended up gettingRead more
