I have come to a realization.
It happened just the other day.
While putting away my kids’ toys, it dawned on me that I am not the girl I used to be. Gone is the 20-something career focused girl with hopes of securing a VP title in corporate America. She’s no more. In her place is a [...]

Then and Now
I’d Like To Teach the World to Sing
Only I probably shouldn’t.
As Kacey can testify to, I like to think that I have a gift when it comes to music. Although I can’t hold a note to save my life, I consider myself a lyricist. Kinda like the long lost twin sister to Eminem, only minus the tattoos, I live in the suburbs [...]
Cleaning Remedy
Have you seen the show Hoarders on the A&E channel? Each episode follows two people with hoarding issues. And the word “issues” here doesn’t come close to doing it justice. Typically, it appears as if a giant scooped up their homes, inserted large quantities of dirt and old food, and then vigorously shook it upside-down [...]

I’m not even sure when it happened anymore, but I do remember how it came to be.
I was what I like to call an “imaginative” child. I believed in many things passionately: [...]
Merry SITSmas!

Equal partnership and chores at its finest. It boggles my mind when November 30th rolls around and I begin receiving the [...]
Growing Up Fast
I’m not exactly sure at what age I stopped being a kid, and started to act like a girl. Was I eight? Maybe twelve?
I do remember all of the important “firsts” from my past, like the first time I shaved my legs.
Honestly, I should have been warned. By a friend. Whose name starts with K [...]
Becoming Tavi Gevinson
What started out as an awareness of shoes, jewelry, and jean jackets back in the ‘80s has progressed to a full-fledged passion for fashion as I have gotten older. And if there is anyone to blame for my weakness when it comes to the perfect boot or bag, it is without a doubt my darling [...]
Kacey: Mom to Emi, lover of good design and original style, educator to tomorrow's world leaders, rejected the first gift that Francesca ever gave her at age 5.
Francesca: Mom to Giancarlo and Lucia, lover of good food, red wine, and all that is celebrity news, still envious of Kacey's Swatch watch collection from junior high.
Come live in our world.
