Remember how I love to make book stacks? It’s time to build a big one for 2020. January was a bit scattered around here, and my reading routine followed suit. I have been piling titles, however, and looking longingly at them. My to-read list is always growing exponentially. I wish I could keep up. A […]
Do you ever wonder what others are doing at this very moment? As you unload the dishwasher, do you catch yourself asking what your brother or best friend is doing? I do. In the business of this life we live, we tend to be good about sharing our major events or celebrations. Yet, I know […]
And just like that, we are on 2020’s doorstep. I love the sound of 2020, so neat and even. Even numbers make me happy, and I feel like even years set you up for good memories. For example, what was great about 2012? Easy, Harper was born. How about 2014? Jameson arrived. I don’t remember […]

Autumn has passed in such a beautiful and quick manner. Quite suddenly, we are buying turkeys, pinning Christmas shopping ideas, and sailing straight toward a New Year. Fall is my favorite season by far. After the hot Colorado sun of summer, autumn’s 60 degree days and dim morning light always gives me flutters of excitement […]
