I would like to start off by stating that I live in a magical land where I can have my cake and eat it too (mmm, cake). You see, I work outside the home three days a week, which means...

Hello Friends! It’s been a while. Actually, nearly a year. I’ve had lots of run-ins with you in the real world and I keep hearing, “I haven’t seen you post anything lately….” Why the sabbatical? Life got complicated. Fast. Where...
