July 24, 2012

Today, my grandma would have been 86-years old. But we lost her exactly 9 months ago to lung cancer. After 2 rounds of chemo, her body just couldn’t take anymore. She closed her eyes and passed on with a smile on her face. From the moment I was born, we shared a special connection. I [...]

Happy New Year! I am expecting a wonderful year ahead for me and my family, and I’m wishing the same for you! Are you making New Year’s Resolutions this year?

Buy Your Christmas Tree Locally

December 16, 2011

Yesterday I posted a picture of our tree, and I realized that I forgot to talk about the actual tree, and why we choose to have a real Christmas tree in our house. I feel like it has become a real debate this year about having a Christmas tree – whether it’s fake (and made [...]
