It’s been sitting on my nightstand for months and I now know why I waited so long to read it, I needed these words now. I know everyone and their mother has already read Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail, but I finished it today and it did something I haven’t…
I hope your 2013 is off to a super start! I spent the morning de-Christmasing our house. It only took three hours, one break to walk to the dog to Starbucks for a much need caffeine fix and one very patient little boy, who ended up being a very big helper. As I gently wrapped…
I almost bought my father, who has been dead for five years a Christmas present today. A book, but not just any book, a $75.00 coffee table book: Fenway Park: 100 Years: The Official, Definitive History of America’s Most Beloved Ballpark He would have devoured it. He loved the Red Sox. His last e-mail to…
Chances are Lucas won’t remember the details of last Tuesday, but they will stay with me. I woke up with a wicked sore throat and we tearfully bid his Daddy farewell for five days as he headed off to Pennsylvania for a car event. We went to his swim lessons and I captured him on…
I am thrilled to have Angela of Tread Softly (formerly known as Tiaras & Trucks) on Letters For You! Angela has always been a big supporter of Letters For Lucas and I have always admired her writing, especially her contributions to Write on Edge, where she serves as Managing Editor.

My posts have been sparse and a little on the light side lately. I’ve experienced blog burn out before and taken blogging breaks. I’ve even experienced writer’s block, but this is different. This time it’s personal. Where have I been you ask? I promised myself to take some of the pressure off during the month…
I have been so down in the dumps lately with our infertility journey coming to a much needed break (for now) and the recent damage I’m having to deal with at my parents house that when I saw Mama Kat’s Writer’s Workshop prompts for this week, I couldn’t help but pick #1: Share one good…
Trust me, I hate hearing about other people’s vacations just as much as the next gal, so I’ll just share the highlights from ours…. In case you missed it, we spent last week in North Carolina attending a wedding in Lake Lure and stayed at the inn where parts of Dirty Dancing was filmed. We…
Last week Alison of Mama Wants This wrote a piece called Quirks, where she shared 10 strange and wonderful things she does and not only did I nod along (2. Toilet paper in my house is OVER the spool. Never under. Under bothers me. Tremendously.) but I laughed out loud (8. I don’t like uneven…
