I spent Christmas Day lounging around at home until it was time to head to the airport. Overnight, I flew cross-country to New York City, and there I arrived, dark and early, at 6am. This was my first time spending the holidays in New York, and with all the crazy snowstorms this year, it was…

I’ve been looped into Sandy’s blog world since, both as a sponsor and as a loyal follower. So when she and…
I drove through thunder and lightning the other day, braving my way through the chaos of downtown San Francisco to go buy a coat. The temperatures have begun to decline, and though it’s still warm relative to much of the country, the nights have chilled enough to bring out the sweaters and scarves, and yes,…
“There are three holidays happening this weekend! Who can tell me which holidays?” I ask the kindergartners and first graders in my after-school program. They offer some imaginative responses (Martin Luther King Day?), but eventually, we elicit the correct answers: Valentine’s Day, Lunar New Year, and President’s Day. So in honor of the coincidence of…
Happy Holidays from Cincinnati, Ohio! A few years ago, I took over the role of Christmas family photographer at our house. Self-timer set, family members seated on the couch, I’d jet back into the frame to join the family portrait. This year, I got to stay in the frame for a couple shots with my…
