Those beautiful Christmas gifts bring you to tears. This year my Great Aunt got me. I remember being little and a round cookie tin arrived in the mail from Pittsburgh after we moved to California.

My mother always did a wonderful job to make sure I saw my face and likeness on the Santas in and outside our house. She painted them! I am so thankful that my daughter was born in a time that is much more inclusive and we have places like the Pottery Barn carrying these beautiful [...]

In my house, Halloween is a Big Deal! It is hands down my mother’s favorite holiday. So, the inside of my house looks like a Haunted House! My childhood was magical, and my mother always went above and beyond to make all of our holidays special, so I want to make sure mine have the [...]
It's pumpkin season again! Here's a recipe from last October. Yes, I am one of those people who looks forward to fall all year long because I like all the seasonal pumpkin treats! While I can see Shawn Harrison (My Wally pop) rolling his eyes at me now out of disgust. He hates pumpkin and [...]
