I notice this trend of people shunning resolutions and the concept of making change in themselves and their lives and I have to say it drives me crazy! No one is perfect and we should all strive to be our best selves. Goals – even when we don’t achieve them – give life direction and … More New Year, New Resolve
We didn’t waste any time this month and certainly made the most of the final weeks of 2019. It was fun but I’m ready to slow things down next month/year. Santa Visit @ Donuts with Santa: Lucas + Sam saw Santa with Kallan + Kensley. Sam was nonchalant about the whole thing. Lucas enjoyed it … More December Round-Up
I did take his 9 month picture on the 21st but got swept up in the holidays so behind on his official monthly update which very much complicates things because in 1 WEEK he’s started to pull himself up, walk along furniture AND climb up on the window (well at least very nearly – … More Sam at 9 Month

Lucas is obsessed with dinosaurs. He has countless books and toys and can tell you the names of more than I can. We are constantly pretending to be dinosaurs and his favorite game in the world is the pup-pup-dinosaur egg hatch game where he curls up in a ball, I fawn over my egg until … More A Day In Detroit: Jurassic World Preview
My sweet Sam. I notice I always say two words when I talk to and about him. Sweet Sam, Sam Sam and Sammy Sam – I have no idea why. My Sammy Sam is a man on the move! He can crawl from one side of the room to another in a blink of … More Sam at 7 Month
