I love any reason to send a care package to someone. I have a few friends who are pregnant right now, so I plan on sending care packages to them. I like to send things via Amazon, but...
2020 is the first year many of us can agree: it sucked. A lot, if not most of us, know someone that has been sick or passed away from COVID-19. I don't think I know anyone who hasn't had...

As I sit down to write this article, every adjective I can think of to describe 2020 seems like an understatement. This year has squashed the writer in me, and I am completely speechless. My response to the question,...
When my husband and I got married, I was really excited about all the traditions we would have together and as a family. Whether it was yearly, weekly or a family related tradition, it didn’t really matter.
