Does anyone like checking the mail (like, the actual mail) more than me? Doubtful. The only thing I like checking more than the mail is the weather. Actually, it’s probably too close to call. With holiday cards, American Girl catalogs (Why, oh why, are we…

Today: Tuscany tasting dinner.
I once flew to Tuscany, by way of London. I don’t remember much about the flights, mostly because I was freaking out (in a positive way) about meeting my Italian host family. I do remember that it took a while to get there, much longer…

Today: Our wedding reception.
If that last goofball dancing photo was any indication, I had a blast at our reception. Before we made our way to the venue, though, we took our little trolley around the corner from St. Cecilia for formal photos with our wedding party and families…

Today: Thankful for fitness.
With Thanksgiving fast approaching, I can’t help but be mindful of the many reasons I have to be grateful. The love and support of my husband, family and friends tops them all. Faith, health, shelter and security are not far behind. I am grateful for…
