As we continue to struggle through 2020, my kids and I created a Christmas countdown project to give us all something to look forward to.

In this time of distance learning, it's me who's learning the most about the amazing person my son is growing up to be.

As I reflect on my experience as president of a local civic organization, I know I want to pass along a legacy of service to my kids.

My mom's incredible strength is a true example for me as a woman and a mother. I miss her everyday.

It's taken nearly my entire life, but I've finally accepted my naturally curly hair--just in time to work on accepting the gray.

I didn’t realize that indoor play areas could be so dramatic. Between the hitting and yelling and snide comments, it can be intense.

Early on, I understood that dates and numbers meant something and could carry a great deal of significance.

I had to represent my dad at a recent NHL game between my hometown Minnesota Wild and his beloved Detroit Red Wings.

As I mark what would have been my parents' 40th anniversary, I reflect on their marriage and my own.

Leaving my childhood home for the last time was, understandably, an emotional experience. Now I'll keep those amazing memories in my heart.
