“And just when the caterpillar thought life was over, it became a butterfly” Change can be scary and uncomfortable. It is overwhelming and frustrating, especially if you don’t know what to expect or exactly where you’re headed. But learning to accept change is both crucial and liberating. It makes us into more loving, deep, and understanding…
Happy Siblings Day to my three beautiful sisters. I’m not gonna lie, I think the whole idea of “siblings day” is a bit lame, but you know what’s not lame? Having you three as siblings. You have enriched my life beyond belief and I pray that someday my children are blessed with siblings as wonderful…
As the wheels of our plane touched down in North Carolina at the end of our honeymoon, I gave myself a mental high-five and said “you did it!!!!” I didn’t learn to surf. I didn’t learn to hula dance. I didn’t even go snorkeling in the tropical freezing cold Hawaiian waters. No, I was proud…
Now that I’m back home from an amazing honeymoon and semi-caught up on work, I can finally get back to blogging! So many times throughout the past two weeks I have wanted to write but just couldn’t find the time. SO happy to be back in a routine at home and able to slow down…

For some reason, this candid photo of my sister and I (oops I wasn’t the photographer in this photo challenge) is one of my favorites. The camera is focused on the footprints in the sand, a very common beach picture, but those little cliche footprints are special to me. A set belongs to my sister…
Last night, many people my age were out celebrating the new year like this and some people like this I am fighting off some type of respiratory infection so I said goodbye to 2012 like a sexy Darth Vader asthma nebulizing kitten. I stuck to my vegan diet for dinner And Isaac made surf N…
Yesterday I went to the zoo to celebrate a special boy’s birthday. We filled his pockets with snacks, bought him a birthday boy zookeeper hat, and he only wandered off and got lost once! Don’t worry, we found him by the zebra exhibit eventually. No, we weren’t celebrating my two and a half year old…
About a week before Christmas I sent a Buzzfeed article to Isaac titled “50 Things You Will Never Get for Christmas Again.” I (semi) jokingly told him that we were over if he didn’t find a way to give me something on that list for Christmas. I also hinted that #31, the Sky Dancer, was…
