So, my first time at Build-A-Bear Workshop was unforgettable, for all the right reasons. My daughter and I shared the most special day. That day she got diamond hearts in her ears, and "Diamond Heart", the sweet Pony doll. My second time was no less memorable, as it involved a lost child and some consommé at ...
There are a lot of awesome things about having a blog; I am not even going to attempt to list these things, as they are just so varied in size and quality and range from mood-enhancing to truly life-changing. BUT, I can tell you that when it comes to something like a Half Birthday, a having blog ...
My, my, my, how things have changed. I was just reading through my archives, as I sometimes do, and came across this post from exactly 5 years ago this week. It was about my half birthday. Yes, because back then, evidently, my half birthday was still something post-worthy. I will also say that I was celebrating my 25.5 year ...
As part of my writing here on this site, I have made the decision to let you, my dear readers, into my life and that means, often times, into my home. You see pictures of us dancing on the living room ottoman, snuggling under my soft, white duvet and writing music in the sunroom. Decorating my home ...

It was awesome; not just the musicianship, but getting to experience another amazing live show with the people who so influenced my lifelong love of music. I have written so many times about how my dad and I share ...
Right now it's about 10 am on Monday (which, my friend so perfectly said at our New Year's Eve dinner table, "is the worst week of the day!") and I just sat down for the first time all morning. As I walked into my house, I was greeted by a family friend who saw the stress on my ...
At the moment, my daughter is very into a few things; in particular: Her cute camp counselor, puzzles and The Lion King. And I have to say, there are only so many times that you can hear "Circle of Life" without reflecting on it's meaning just a bit. It's the Circle of Life And it moves us all. ...
Confidence. It is a word used so often in our vernacular that I almost forget what it means, or, at the very least, I never stop to really and truly contemplate it as a word or concept. But confidence is this huge thing; it is what parents and teachers are supposed to instill in our kids; it is the ...
There is a period in my twenties about which I have not written very much. In trying to think about why I have left this out of my story, when I share so much of my story, I think that it is because I wasn't always as open as I am, so sharing the story of ...
I have to say, I am thoroughly enjoying being both a Birchbox #Birchblogger and part of the #BirchboxBookClub. I love making videos each month and have been having tons of fun with my YouTube Channel. I keep threatening my songwriting partner that I am going to post some of our raw footage. Speaking of songwriting, if you follow ...
