One last indulgence before your New Year's resolutions kick in
DEC 29, 2014
After weeks of yuletide indulgence, it’s time to think about New Year’s resolutions. Before jumping the gun on a regimen of deprivation, indulge one last time.
Forget cronuts, cake pops and cupcakes. There’s another chic pastry that deserves its day – the Madeleine. These classic seashell-shaped cakes were named after their creator, Madeline Paulmier, by King Louis XV in the 18th century, so the story goes.

Joys of Christmas: Tradition and Santa perfect match for Jackson
DEC 19, 2014
Last year we went to one of the Advent services at church and traditionally they do communion at each advent service. Typically Jackson had not taken communion but I decided to let him do it. The next time we went to the Advent service he whispered to me and said, “Mommy, are we going to take a break?”
I said a 'break' and he said, “grape juice and crackers” and then it dawned on me what he was saying and was talking about communion.

Joys of Christmas: Mason had his hands in all things Christmas
DEC 15, 2014
Last year my son, Mason, was just 2 years old. This was really the first year he knew what Christmas truly was. It was a chore just to make sure he would leave the Christmas tree alone and also not unwrap all the presents under the tree! Every day I would hear, "Mommy, is Santa coming tonight?"
One of my most favorite memories of last year was when my new niece, Gabby, got to come visit. Most of my family live in Illinois so we only get to see them a couple times. It is so special when we get to spend the holidays together as a family. Mason and my oldest son, Brayden, would fight over whose turn it was to hold her, she continuously got passed around like a little rag doll. We had to keep an eye on them at all times but it was so fun to watch them all together.
