Truth: I am behind on my blog posts!

Let's kick it off with the Candid Christmas Card Contest! (ends 12/3/14)

It's pretty rare that our house is quiet. It's even more rare that I have alone time and when I do, it's usually paired with blankets, cozy clothes and coffee. I savor the moments when I can catch up on emails and articles. Those moments of solace make me feel refreshed and perhaps, a better mom and wife.
My go-to? Starbucks® Mocha K-Cup® Packs. It's my favorite aroma. I swear it's better than any candle you can find out there.

Morning friends! Ironic that just yesterday I wrong about "doing it all" and today's post is just now going live. Oy. #bloggerproblems.
Today I'm sharing a few snaps from our backyard Halloween party last weekend. We invited all of our friends, kids or sans kids, to soak up the 70 degree weather and basically...eat a lot of crap food. Pretty much a perfect day for me but we'll table my junk food addictions for another day.
Enjoy and Happy Halloween to you! Be Safe!

After blogging for five years, I can tell you not every day is creatively fueled or inspiring. There are many-a-day that I have no idea what to write about or I don't feel like taking photos. It's hard to come up with original content consistently. Still, after all this time, I never once thought about quitting a hobby that I love so much.
I've heard this before however in the last week, I've had two girlfriends ask me how I do it all? By "all" they are referring to two full-time jobs, being a mother, a somewhat decent wife and blogging.

One of my favorite things about our weekends is the spontaneity of seeing close friends at a moment's notice. Too often we strategize these intricate get-togethers only to have the best laid plans fall through.
In fact, my favorite memories often include a random text followed by my door bell ringing twenty minutes later. For cozy moments like these, I retreat to sweet treats and Starbucks® flavored K-Cup® Packs.

I take my mornings very seriously. And because I am NOT a morning person...you better not mess with my rituals which include, but are not limited to, coffee, coffee, coffee and a delicious pastry. Oh and a small sliver of "me" time which keeps mommy ever-so-patient when rallying the troops for school, ballet and the assorted play date.
