One of my biggest challenges each day is time. Finding time. Time to get my kids to school. Time to make lunches. Time to get exercise. Time to get laundry done. Time to run errands. On the hierarchy of my to-do list for each day, running errands trails behind everything else. But, errands are very important. I...

My husband is a creature of habit. I challenge anyone to find a person more of a creature of habit…he would hate it if I called him set in his ways…not that I would say hat of course… But he’s definitely a creature of habit. If he leaves his comb on the edge of...

If I enter the mall, I immediately smell pretzels. I’m completely distracted by the aroma of pretzels. I forget why I am even at the mall. Shoes? Clothes? Who knows? All I know is that I need a pretzel. Stat. My kids are like me. They have a Pavlovian response to pretzels, especially Auntie...

I found a notepad the other day. It was a white, narrow-ruled letter-sized pad. Full. No empty pages. Every square inch of every page was filled with writing. The corners of the pad were curled up. Pages were somewhat frayed. What had I written on the pad? On closer inspection, I saw immediately what...

My kids LOVE to bake. They bake for birthdays, holidays, and just because. The older one bakes for friends at school. I don’t know how she carries a tray of cupcakes and her backpack and lunchbox, but she manages somehow. She likes sharing what she bakes with her friends. Two weekends ago, my son...

I was chatting with a friend about holiday traditions. I shared that my mother always put my gifts in a pillowcase at the end of my bed. How do I know this? Because I saw the photos! Don’t worry I had long since stopped believing. What is funny, though, is that my parents continued...

I didn’t grow up eating Thanksgiving Dinner. I was born in the United Kingdom, so it makes sense that traditions in England would be different to America. There is no Thanksgiving Day in England. No turkey or stuffing or pumpkin pie for me. It’s an entirely American tradition. What is odd is that for...

Turkey, stuffing, and side dishes is what most love about Thanksgiving. I love all the holiday foods too. I can sink in to a turkey-induced coma as quickly as the next person. However, I am a strategic eater. I gorge on turkey and all the trimmings, but always leave a little spot open. When...
