We all have lessons in our everyday stories. These days, they’re just usually abbreviated messages proceeded by a hashtag, ie: #Fail, #MommaNeedsSomeMommaJuice.
So, each week, I try to pick out a piece of wisdom from one of my blog posts and feature it as a Toast of the Week. They run the gamut from big to small, deep and philosophical, to silly and ridiculous. But by discovering these truths, we can grow, laugh, and enjoy. So cheers to the messiness, pain, and beauty of life that helps us see the love that surrounds us because it’s all worth toasting.
The current Toast of the Week is located on the right side bar, but you can find the archive of all past toasts below.

Cheers to: family, love, martinis, and blogging for helping us toast it all.
Cheers to nostalgic-style modes of communication which glorify eras-gone-by and strike a balance in a world that is always moving forward. I’m looking at you Instagram and animated gifs! Salut!
