Fall can be full of fun family activities…what is on your fall bucket list? This was a Love family tradition….a hayride at the apple orchard! Labor Day has passed, and that familiar feeling of “where did the summer go?” has come and gone. Those autumn days are approaching and as much as I love summer, …

My “little” Valentines are all grown up! I was talking to several people over the last week about Valentine’s Day, and many Moms and Dads feel like it is another “chore” of parenting anymore. After all we see Valentine hearts in the stores and on TV from the moment the Christmas decorations come down …

My favorite day of the week is here again. I am looking forward to a “date night” tonight. Even with being an “empty nester”, a date night sounds exciting. It is nice to be out and concentrating only on each other and not the pile of laundry that still is sitting in my laundry room. …

And, most importantly, cookies.” – Rudolph Giulian This past weekend all 4 of our children and their cousins spent time with my parents. While there, the kids helped a bit in the …

TGIF! My favorite day of the week is here again. I am looking forward to “playing” a bit this weekend. Even with being an “empty nester” my days get filled with “have to’s”; so a little play time sounds wonderful. I will probably sleep a bit later, savor my morning coffee a bit longer, breathe …

It is Friday, my favorite day of the week! A day that brings me “ahhh” moments as I breathe after a busy week. I am sure that you say, “Breathe?” “My Friday and Saturday is like my Monday!” Sometimes it can feel that way when you have small children at home. Every day you …

Yes, TGIF! It is Fun Friday! Have you ever heard your child say ” but that’s how we always do it!”. Most of us have heard that statement and often we think, “Really? Always?” What our child is telling us is that what we have done in the past made an impact, it was something that was not only fun, …

Look at their sweet eyes, and hold onto the moments….

Those eyes just never change….enjoy every early morning AND every moment! I just returned from my morning walk/run. What an incredible morning it is. The sun is shining, the air is a little cool and the sky is cloudless. As I was moving along on the trail, I saw a Mom pushing a stroller …
