Every year, we arrive at December thinking about the ups and downs we went through the past 12 months. Its a ritual. We all do it. Every year it seems there was something extraordinarily different. It was crazier. It was unprecedented. It was the best. It could […]
I love this time of the year. I love dancing and singing to sweetly sweet songs. Growing up, Christmas was a bit hard. However, now with my son, Christmas is just divine. I want to freeze in place his wonderful smile, cheery disposition and wondrous belief in […]
