This is one of the hardest posts I have written to date, as it will be my last as a CTWM blogger. A little while ago, my husband and I made the decision to look at the possibilities of moving closer to our families in NH. Things happened fast, and just before our vacation I

It was our first day of vacation and everyone was excited! We had an adult to kid ratio of 6 to 2, so we were feeling confident that we could navigate all the throngs of people easily and not lose anyone. We were wrong. While walking to our next destination, we came to a fork
When it comes to cleaning my house, if you follow me you know that it is a reluctant chore that is not on the top of my list. I do not have floors you can eat off of and the bathroom sink often looks like an alpine slide from all the toothpaste spit (Win for

On my wedding day, instead of the traditional father gives away the bride, I walked down the aisle with both of my parents and my bouquet was made up of 6 pieces, handed to me as I made my journey to my future by 6 of the women in my life who have shaped me
