For the next month I've decided to embark on a gratitude challenge. November seems like a fitting month to start with given that Thanksgiving is the holiday that is central to the theme. You'll be getting a weekly recap from me about the things I'm grateful for each day that week.

A photo a day in the life
For the past 3 years I've embarked on a project to capture one photo a day as a way to remind me about how fast and slow life can sometimes be. Not every day is the same and not every day is special, but every day is one more day I get to look back on and cherish the memories big and small. The video below captures this past year from October 23, 2016 through October 22, 2017. I can't believe it's been another year and life has changed in the blink of an eye.

Biking Portland to Portland: From the Sidelines
My brother Scott and his two friends, Josh and Jose are less than 24 hours away from finishing their 3,500 mile bike ride from Portland, Oregon to Portland, Maine all in the name of Pancreatic Cancer Research.

What it means to have it all
Being able to "have it all" is something that I think about a lot. As a mom that works outside the home I'm in a constant work-life juggle to try and be all things to all people and have it all at the same time. Sometimes it feels like wanting to have my cake and eat it too. I always bring up how I can achieve this in conversation too, giving thanks to those that support me in my work life and home life. I couldn't do it all or have it all without them. Still, what does it actually mean to say that as moms we want to have it all?
