Raising Children to Weather the Storm
If you walk into a family’s home and it’s a hot mess, then chances are you’d blame it on the mother. I should know – I was one of those people. Now that the shoe is on the other foot, I have a new found appreciation for messy home. In fact, I know longer call…
You’re probably wondering where I’ve been these past couple of weeks. I’ve been planning parties, studying, and working. It so happens that both my kids’ birthdays are less than a month apart. You’re probably wondering why I decided to hold separate events, rather than combine them. The answer is simple. There is a three year…
