The minute we laid eyes on this intimate wedding at Half Mile Farm, we were convinced there's no way a wedding this perfect could be real - it had to be a styled shoot! Nope.

We’d wager a guess that it’s not exactly...

Today we built houses with marshmallows and spaghetti then created a drawing of a house with the focus on empathy - so we built a home that a homeless person would find comforting! Here's how you can take this lesson home with your kids. Read the kids' definition of what Empathy is: "Empathy is the ability to understand how someone else is feeling or to understand the situation they are in. It is the ability to “put yourself in someone else’s shoes” and to understand the way a situation...

Because we could feed a small country with the volume of food that my children leave on their plates. How to Make Leftovers Taste Like Magic. 1.
