Is it just me or did this year go by too quickly? I hardly knew you, 2011! Oh well, on to the next. I'm not much for resolutions, but I do have some goals for the coming year to share...

Kellan has reached a new phase recently. He loves to tell long, elaborate stories while he plays. It's hilarious to listen to. Sometimes he sits and babbles nonstop. Other times he acts out stories doing different voices and making sound...

Despite my best efforts to avoid it, I am fighting a cold this week. It feels more like an annoyance than an illness at this point. Still, I want it to go away! There are some simple steps I can...

Whether it's part of your holiday celebration or just part of making the house more festive, this is a time for candles. I love the glow of candles, but burning them inside your home requires staying alert no matter what's...

Some books are a chore to read. Your kids may love it, but you try to convince them to read something else. Maybe it's the storyline, or maybe the rhythm of the word is off when read aloud. Sometimes you...

We left the house early last weekend in search of the perfect Christmas tree. Kellan didn't want to get out of the car once we got to the tree farm because it was too cold outside. This is when Erik...
