I just wanted to give all of you a heads up that there won’t be many posts from me this week because I’m sort of on vacation. That’s right. Sort of. Well, everyone else is. I’m still working as much as possible, which isn’t easy since we don’t have an internet connection at the lake…

Conversations With My Son: “You’re 31, Not 29!”
If there’s one thing we can absolutely count on as parents its that our children are going to be brutally honest with us…even if we don’t want them to. Children don’t have filters and because of that, they often say things that make us gasp in shock, laugh loudly in delight and shake our heads…
Gratitude Post: What a Great 31st Birthday!

Bye Kindergarten. Hello First Grade.
Yesterday was an emotional day for me because my youngest graduated kindergarten. It seems like just yesterday when I brought him home from the hospital, but in truth, it’s been almost six years. Time has flown by far too quickly and when I’m not careful, the reality of that sneaks up on me and makes…
Divorce Talk: Can We All Just Get Along?
Hey, guess what? Divorce sucks! It honestly doesn’t matter if it was a mutual decision or one brought about because a spouse was no longer in love or happy, it’s still a huge life adjustment, especially if a couple was married for a long period of time. It was just over a year ago that…
