Gemma, our youngest, turned five last week. As our last baby, it’s bittersweet because while we love her dearly and want to celebrate, we are melancholy at the thought of how old she has become. My my how time has sped up over the last few years! When you think…

Every night before school, I ask the kids to lay out their clothing for the next day. Siella and Gemma take this task super serious because they know when morning comes there is no changing their minds. They each pick out an outfit, match a shoe, a bag, and a…

For two months each year, I can say that my children are two years apart, and I have to admit, I really like rattling off their ages in multiples of two. This year, we are in the even zone of 4,6,8. I bet I say the same thing every year,…
