Looking to give the gift of travel but don’t know how? If your person is an adventure-seeker at heart, there are plenty of options for budget-friendly travel gifts (that are actually useful!). Travel-related gifts are perfect for birthdays, holidays, weddings, and thank you gifts. Bon Voyage! It’s reported that nearly 9 out of 10 Americans plan…

If there’s one good thing that came out of 2020, it’s deepened connections with the ones we love. With all that extra free time (when we weren’t learning TikTok dances and making sourdough bread), we were able to reconnect with all the wonderful people in our lives. It meant catching up over massive Zoom birthday…

Your 2021 summer schedule is likely booking up quickly. There are the weddings that were postponed from last year, plus the ones that were already scheduled to happen this summer. There’s travel starting back up. In-person showers are happening again. And well, there’s a vibrancy to life that feels worth celebrating in and of itself. …

This year’s graduation festivities will still look a bit different, but that doesn’t mean the “degree” of celebration should (pun absolutely intended). After all, students have been through a lot in the last 14 months, with many finishing up their high school or college careers over Zoom. It wasn’t the ending anyone imagined for themselves,…

You may not be able to celebrate with a traditional brunch this year, but sending flowers and a card just doesn’t feel special enough for the woman who gave you life (in addition to a few thousand band-aids, sleepless nights, and hugs that lasted for days). Even if she’s far away, the most important woman…

Being a real mother isn’t always in the DNA, but it is always in the heart. True mothers have an intuition to be maternal and nurturing in a way that can not be explained. It’s a superpower, quite frankly – to see someone who is motherless… either temporarily because her child has moved away for…

It goes without saying that there is an unspeakable and eternal bond between mothers and daughters. These timeless relationships illuminate the world around them with the nourishment of their love and their protective qualities. Passed down through stories, genetics, and experiences, there is a tenderness and a strength that mothers give their daughters to carry…

Welp, we have made it into the final stretch of 2020, and BOY what a year. As an avid bookworm, reading has been my salvation. It has helped me escape to a different world during these unprecedented times. While we are getting ready to welcome what is to come in the new year, we still…

When it comes to buying gifts, the easiest gift shopping is always for the college student in the family. It’s not difficult to know why. College is more than an extension of education. It is also a transitional phase between childhood and adulthood. College-aged students aren’t completely on their own yet, but it’s the first…

You’ve sent your kid (and your money) to college, to live outside the nest by themselves for the first time. One minute you were changing diapers and (oops… you blinked!) the next you are moving them into a dorm room. Just like everything else in parenting, you’ve got to remain flexible. You can read all…

Got Photos? You are not the only one who’s got an overloaded cloud. It’s a common problem. And –yeah–it can do a number on your sanity. You may be having a recurring argument with yourself– Worried that the moment you start to clean house, you will wish that you didn’t. It’s happened before: searching for a…

He asks her what she wants for her Birthday.  She says, “Oh, you don’t have to get me anything.”  He replies, “I know but I really would like to give you a gift.” She says, “No, really. I don’t want anything. Please don’t get me anything.” He asks, “Are you sure?”  She replies, “Of course…
