As Valentine’s Day approaches, we begin to see the grocery store aisles fill with brightly colored candy and mass-produced chocolate. As if nothing says “I Love You” like a Kit Kat.
Some may shy away from the “Hallmark” holiday, but Valentine’s Day actually happens to be one of my favorites; sometimes we need a little reminder to celebrate our loved ones! There’s no law that says you have to purchase anything; it can still be meaningful and romantic regardless of the way you decide to celebrate.
Whether you’re a newlywed, dating, or a family with children, take the opportunity to create a family tradition… just spend a little extra time to make it special and unique.
With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, plan ahead with this exquisite brunch menu. It’s perfect for a gathering of your closest friends or to surprise your loved one with an exceptional breakfast in bed. Choose one dish or make both! Either way, your bellies and hearts are sure to be full.
Holidays are a time of year when there are bound to be countless parties to attend with friends and family. But the rules for parties stay the same year-round.

How can we learn to be real in our struggles, but also genuinely rejoice for others? Especially if a friend has something that we feel unable to attain (a husband, pregnancy, etc)?
The holidays are here, and that means so many good things are in store: Cookie exchanges and Christmas movies, tree-trimmings and holiday parties, gift-wrapping extravaganzas and an excuse to pull out our favorite festive wear.
In this season, there will always be more to do — more cards to write, more gifts to buy, more parties to attend, more people to see. But what if this year we opt for a little less, not in an attempt to sacrifice the richness of this season but rather in hopes of giving our loved ones the gift of presence?
I have loved a great many and a great depth And I have lost as much as I loved, if not more I picked up instead bad habits and excuses A little chip on my shoulder on the good days Ancient marble ruins on the bad With nothing and nowhere

We are in the throes of the magical holiday season, a time filled with family and friends and lots of opportunities for memory-making. It’s likely that you (or someone you love) is traveling to spend the holidays with family and time is condensed as you
The holiday season is here; lights flicker on trees and in windows, friends and family feast together, and the sense of excitement — even of joy — rests on these days. What is it that makes these weeks so special, so transcendent? The parties? The food?
'Tis the time to spread the love. And while we truly favor those gifts that can't be wrapped -- like time, connection, service & encouragement -- it never hurts to be prepared with a few ideas for the tangible, too. So scroll through our gallery and
