The struggle is real. There is a challenge balancing the many duties that we have as women at home & in the corporate world.

Imagine dealing with a tantrum toddler … More Hands Full

Today was an official snow day for us. The office shut down and the schools were closed. However, the hubs went to work because he works at the hospital and it never closes.

It has been one of the most challenging yet rewarding year of my life so far. I have to say 2016 was the year that I truly understood the power of human connection. I started the year off a bit (actually, a whole lot) uncertain of where my professional life would take me. Throughout my … More Reflecting on 2016
We have an artificial Christmas tree that we put up year after year. It stands merrily in front of the middle window. From the outside, you could see it glow and it’s even more magical when it snows.

I love warm desserts as much as sipping lattes in the fall. The house smells amazing when there’s something sweet baking in the oven.

Fall festivities are by far my most favorite things to look forward to this time of the year.

Unfortunately, most of our fireplaces … More White Fireplace Mantels
