Ewan innocently asked this question as my mother-in-law was Christmas decorating with “garland” on the stair banister yesterday.
He was the first to notice that there’s basically an evergreen tree branch wrapped around the railing.

Last night, I had the opportunity to see the band Cold War Kids in Washington, DC . I went to the show with a dear friend and it was great spending time with him. The CWK put on a great show and the band that opened for them, the We Barbarians were a solid act. All [...]

Ok, looking at this cute, lovable 2-year old, you would never guess that she literally has Buns Of Steel. Stop reading now if you don’t like Mom Stories, but hey, this is my life and you’re reading it: There was no glamour for me today. My thoughts were mostly consumed by Poo strategies and I [...]

This week marks 1 year in the blogisphere for us here on a beautiful collision.

I don’t want to let another night pass by without recognizing Liesl’s 2nd birthday, which was November 3rd. When all 6 pounds 7 ounces of her came into the world that day in 2005, we had no idea she would be a girl, who she was or who she would become. You’ve caught glimpses [...]
