Tips for Airline Travel with Children {Guest Post by Michelle of Falafel and the Bee!}
Pin itMy Michelle. She is a most wonderful woman. Creative. Funny. Highly allergic. I met Michelle probably close to two hands worth of fingers ago. She has become a very dear friend.

A lesson in grace.
Pin it A lesson doesn’t always have to be dramatic to be a “lesson”. Sometimes the softest, most subtle things can imprint one’s heart and mind. Let me set the stage: If I were to choose one word to describe me lately, it would be “scattered”. I doubt any of my friends would argue that. [...]

We Didn't Make Peanut Butter Balls This Year.

Circle of Friends
Pin itI am blessed to have more than my fair share of friendships. There are plenty of friendship “philosophies” about how many friends one should have… Some say you should be able to count your close friendships on one hand. I don’t necessarily agree. I have never been one to have one and one-only “Bestie”. [...]
