Every Monday the boys and I go to my Dad's for dinner and my step-brother and his girlfriend generally join us up there as well. Last week we about fell over in awe when we saw that he managed to top last year's 14 foot tree with a SIXTEEN foot tree! Of course before I left my step mother … [Read more...]
Our Family Traditions This Holiday – Join in the Conversation with #InDelight for a Chance to win a $200 TargetGift Card!

I don't want that for my boys. I want them to reflect back on their childhood and remember all the years we spent together as a family and remember the little things that made each year and moment stand … [Read more...]

Christmas is so healing for me. There is something about this time of year that makes me like a 4 year old child all over again.

I've been trying for this baby for years. Years. In that time I have been collecting some of my favorite products from some of my favorite companies.
