LipSense is a long-lasting, smudge-proof, kiss-proof, budge-proof  lipstick that is AMAZING!!!  It comes in so many colors and can be mixed to make new colors. Learn how to apply it like a pro!

This post is a reminder to myself (and you), that it’s important to find ways of feeling a sense of accomplishment and to challenge yourself to explore your passion – whatever it is or whatever it was & with whatever time you have.

I loved breastfeeding - but it didn’t come easy or without sacrifice. I did not love pumping. In this post from February of 2015, I shared the start of my breastfeeding and pumping journey.

Potty Training looks different for different kids. It varies from child to child. We had a frustrating, yet relatively typical experience with out older son. However, my little guy with all the weird things was the one to teach us about Rectal Prolapse.

In this post from November 2020, I shared our experience with a Sweat Test that Phoenix needed to have following some constipation issues as a toddler. Hopefully sharing our experience helps another parent who might be embarking on the same journey.

Phoenix is proud to call himself our rainbow baby. He knows the significance of his name and that he completed our family. In this post from May of 2017, I share his birth story.

He came a week early and has been a fast guy ever since! In this blog post originally written in September of 2014, I documented Desmond’s birth story.

I’ve been living and breathing FPS since March of 2018. I’ve been so fortunate to have a job I love - where my skill set marketing and communications could be utilized to support and benefit my community while shining a light on the amazing things that public schools have to offer. Unfortunately, my time with FPS is coming to an end by June 30th.

I committed to learning, leading and growing in my field and truly thought I would retire here so I am sad to not continue in my role. As I prepare to move on, I wanted to share this letter with my fellow community members.

In this blog post, I explore the differences from my 2012 hunt and my 2016 hunt. I had more experience and a better understanding of what moved me, but I was still looking for daily excitement, goals and results to drive success and accomplishment; new teammates, leaders, and culture. I was still looking for a professional home – not just a job.

To honor those who couldn’t attend our wedding, I decided to hang mini picture frames to my bouquet with photos of those who passed and were closest to me and to Dave. We also had a ‘Tree of Life’ to honor the broader group of family members who couldn’t be there in person.

Neither Dave nor I are super religious, but we are happy with how we were raised and wished to incorporate tradition and meaningful elements into our wedding ceremony. One item I pursued very intentionally was our Chuppah and I could not have been happier with the final result!
