Those of you who have been with me for a long time know I have three daughters. One of them, Penelope, is 6’1”. And she does not exactly try to hide […]

Sometimes love looks like someone washing your hair in a sink. Those of you who have been with me a long time know that in 2022, two years after my husband Brace was healed from terminal cancer, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had a full mastectomy. And after surgery, they put in tubes. […]

While we were in Sun Valley, we went to watch the Olympic skaters. And they were amazing. The speed.The control.The grace.The strength. It was beautiful to watch.

This week, our family escaped to beautiful Sun Valley, Idaho. We spent our mornings doing one of my favorite things — biking to breakfast with my husband, my two daughters, my grandchildren, and extended family. On Thursday, we biked to Hailey, Idaho.
