Summer use to be the relaxing season out of all 4 of the seasons. As a kid that's because you don't have to go to school during the Summer, or at least most of it. However, as a parent, Summer has become less relaxing than I once remember. Life just seems to speed up in... Continue Reading →
If you have any presence on social media I am sure you have seen the birthday Questionnaires to ask your kids every year.

Day 8. JOURNAL FOR 20 MINUTES. This morning started off fine. I realized that I haven't gotten up late (to get Pickle to school) since before Christmas break.

One of my least favorite areas of our house, but also probably my favorite, is our bedroom. I don't know about other people, but the master bedroom seems to be the room where everything ends up.
