Just Like That!

Just like that, the world changes. In an instant…all the time. The one thing guaranteed in this life is constant change. There’s always so much happening on a macro and even micro level.

1 2 3s of Thankfulness

We have the same routine for bedtime. After a bath filled with toys and bubbles, Harper gets dressed in brightly colored pajamas and I say the same thing each evening, “Go pick two books”.

Loc(s) of Love

Harper hates keeping his socks and shoes on. He often has at least one foot bare before I pull out the driveway for our morning commute. As an infant he can’t comprehend why it’s important for him to keep his little feet covered and warm during the cooler months in New England. It’s not just […]
