Raising Children to Weather the Storm
It’s crazy how much of myself I see in my daughter. Whenever she goes through one of her “I think I’m grown moods,” my Mom or Hubby (sometimes both) are quick to chime in saying, “She gets it from you!” How can I argue with that? They’re absolutely right. That said, I’ve been thinking a…
If you’ve been following my blog and vlog, then you know that I’ve been having some serious hair issues. Since my hair loss announcement, and I’m happy to say that I’ve been making some progress. I’ve got my edges back! Okay, I admit that I have a ways to go, but it’s progress. I can’t complain…
