After a year of simply surviving, this year is focused on re-learning to love myself and all of my scars.
And after three years in therapy and three “one-more chances,” the foundation of my marriage crumbled. But even so, God gave me beauty for ashes.
My first Christmas cake of the season features some Grinch humor and pun just for fun. I hope you enjoy this decorating process video.
I love the holiday season because I get to create cherished memories with family.
This banana pudding recipe is a go-to holiday dessert because it is a fresh take on my favorite childhood dessert.
This Challah recipe is easy for anyone to make and very adaptable.
I was introduced to this recipe by one of my former colleagues 10 years ago and it’s still a hit whenever I make it.
One of my favorite things to do on Christmas morning is to get up while my house is still quiet and prepare breakfast. I love sitting in the stillness before everyone in my house goes crazy!
I didn’t grow up with any family traditions, so it’s been important for me to start them with my children. I hope your family loves it as much as mine does!
While the experience of losing our hair is certainly devastating for many of us, this is also an amazing opportunity for us to really get artistic with how we want to express ourselves through beauty.
