“Sometimes I miss my old life,” I mutter to myself, as I am sitting at my computer, looking at my calendar, phone in hand.
All of a sudden, Reality slaps me in the face.
“Which old life?” she spats at me. “The one where you worked so hard to get into a private college, studied your [...]

My husband Jamie has been cancer-free for 10 years.
He had recently graduated from college and had started his own consulting firm when a lump starting forming on his neck. It disappeared after a week but night-sweats and flu-like symptoms emerged. And then the lump returned.

There are three things I love about living in Colorado:
1) The mountains
2) Grandparents who willingly babysit
3) Children’s consignment sales every spring and fall
Obviously, my love for these sales runneth deep and the spring sale season is upon us! For those not in the know, these consignment extravaganzas feature children’s clothing from newborn to size 12, [...]

I come from a family of pranksters. A recent example is when my brother Jade spotted a toilet on the side of the road. Most normal people would pass by and avoid contact at all costs. Not him. His co-worker arrived at work to find this delightful addition to his work space.
