I hate the idea of setting New Year’s resolutions, but I love the idea of setting goals for the new year. Why? Let me explain. A goal is a desired result. It is measurable… you either accomplish it or you don’t. A resolution is a permanent change to your life. That’s pretty intense, and it …
Christmas 2017 in our household was SO exciting and I imagine it’s only going to get more exciting in the years to come. Having Christmas in our new house was amazing. Ben and I both feel so at home and love our house and neighborhood so much. It’s a great feeling. Since our children are …

My little Theodore turned 3 on January 22nd. I wasn’t upset on his 1st or 2nd birthdays in that ‘oh my gosh, my baby is growing up!’ sort of way. But when he turned 3? Lord have mercy, you’d think he was packing his bags for college! His 3rd birthday tugged and pulled on my …
