“The more, the merrier!” That’s a common phrase I use, whether I am talking about having people over or I am recruiting help for a major undertaking. Having mentioned the latter, I am reminded of the number of friends and family that helped us in our move from New York to Dallas. Between packing up
When our first child was about two years old, I thought I had this parenting thing down. Our son was obedient, orderly, you name it..he was it. And then we had kid # 2. He was cute, charming, well behaved (in public), but behind closed doors…let’s just say, we were worn out! I remember my
Last week, I took some time off to clean up my house. Not just a regular cleaning. More like Mari Kondo – declutter, reorganize, vacuum under my dresser kind of stuff. I’m one of those weird people who find it therapeutic. My husband and friends agree that I’m weird but think I should get

I remember when my boys were little. There were days I felt more like a referee than a mom. My little one was usually the instigator, egging his big brother on (see pic above). But it takes two to tango. Right? So, when it looked like there was no end in sight, I’d step in.
Dallas isn’t known for its seasons (unless you count “cold” and “very hot”) but every year around this time, something really beautiful starts to happen. Trees that were barren start coming to life again. I drove by these particular trees recently and couldn’t help but notice the contrast. One looked like it was still winter,
Late last week I was struggling with remembering a password on a document at work. It was one of those situations where I created the document and the password could not be reset without deleting the document. I knew exactly what I had intended the password to be, so the only thought in my mind
The first year of our marriage had humble beginnings. My husband picked up his whole life, leaving a business behind, to live in a new city with me while I was training for my career. It wasn’t easy for him to leave the home he always knew. Being apart from parents and close friends, we
