Hands down, my favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. I now look forward to a kid friendly, thanks filled Thanksgiving each year. I reached this conclusion at some point in my mid-twenties. That’s when I realized the beautiful simplicity of just taking the time to share a meal with family and friends was much more precious than […]
I love establishing meaningful family traditions, things that will bring us together in a way that honors our beliefs and reinforces our values. We have daily traditions that do just this. Every morning we wake up with a thank you to God for this beautiful day. Every evening, we read books. Jesus and books are […]

My first daughter was born in the middle of September, so at a mere six weeks of age we decided to take her to a pumpkin patch.

The Whispering Woods and Other “Scary” Things I love pumpkins, dead leaves, scary movies, ghost stories, haunted houses, trick-or-treaters, zombies, and Halloween decorations, but when my oldest daughter, Emerson, was a baby I had to decide if I should I make Halloween less scary for my child. Did I want her to experience Halloween? What […]

3rd Annual Tampa Bay Kids Fest As parents we try to keep our children entertained yet make sure they are well taken care of too. Sometimes it can be overwhelming. What school should I send my child to? How do I start saving for college? Where are the best dentists in the area? What fun classes […]
When summer starts winding down, I start getting excited about all the great fall events coming to Walt Disney World. My favorite, and it isn’t even a close contest, is the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival. My husband and I have been to the Festival nearly every year since it kicked off back in […]
