Share the Love this Valentine’s Day and Pay it Forward with Coffee
February 12, 2014 By
The suspended coffee movement has swept through Europe, crossed the ocean and arrived in our little city. On Valentine’s Day, stop in your favorite coffee shop and buy a cup of coffee for someone else. Could be a stranger, a co-worker, a friend, leave one for the person in line behind you, the construction workers […]
Two Bigger Now…Now, Too Big
February 10, 2014 By
When swimsuits and plastic pools line Target’s shelves while snow is still melting on the ground, I scarcely notice. When pre-lit Christmas trees and inflatable reindeer debut in Walmart weeks before Halloween, I stay silent amidst the condemning Facebook fray. (Truth told I have to squelch a smile. If you’re curious who’s hitting the button […]
Valentine Shortbread Cookies: Three Ways
February 10, 2014 By
Whether you’re scouting for a sweet treat to gift your valentine or a fun baking activity to celebrate with your littles, these shortbread cookies are just the thing.

Or, when you decide that pizza and a kids movie at home is just as romantic, because the hassle of finding a babysitter and changing into clothes not […]
Easy Valentine’s Day Card Craft For Any Age
February 3, 2014 By
I don’t care if you do store-bought or handmade cards. Even when the 3-year-old kid was clearly uninvolved in the making of the cards, I’m at the point where I just assume the parent really loves doing crafts. However, I like including my kids in handmade cards on the years they want to make them. […]
Your Back Is About To Thank You
February 1, 2014 By
Stop what you’re doing. Right now. You’re hunching. Can I see you through the computer? No. It’s because I do it too (in fact, I was doing it just then). Look around, cell phones, computers, tablets… we’re all hunching. If you’re a chronic huncher like me, you probably have the exact same upper back and […]
