Today marks the day I became a mom for the first time. 26 years ago to be exact. And 3 years later, once again with the birth of our second child. WTH? Where did that time go? The memories of our oldest's early years are like ghosts caught on a camera, leaving behind little bubbles… Continue reading A view of the path to adulting

Finally, we empty nesters stopped at a winery!

Ah…to be a kid again!
Fireworks and the Fourth of July go hand in hand with kids of all ages. If only we could be kids forever, right? We'd pose to see our reflections in the pond.
