May 29, 2015 by Aprille 1 Comment

The carousel never stops turning and our hard is still our hard

May 22, 2015 by Aprille 15 Comments

I am coming to this space ready to be raw and ramble… you have been forewarned. I feel almost a stranger to the blank space. I’ve written so little here this year and for so many reasons. A year ago, we had just come into acceptance of my husband’s anxiety disorder diagnosis. We had just … [Read more…]

I’m dreaming of a white(space) Christmas

November 15, 2014 by Aprille 6 Comments

I urge you – mom’s especially – to take some time (before we get all caught up in it all) and evaluate what you want Christmas to look like for you.

On #whitespace, staying home, and tomato suckers

July 12, 2014 by Aprille 3 Comments

Waving the white flag: giving up and gaining #whitespace

May 29, 2014 by Aprille 10 Comments

Well ladies, I’ve dropped out of the rat race and I’m waving the white flag of surrender. Do you always have to give up something to gain something? I say yes. But the gain is always worth it.
