Family

These posts share the highs and lows of being a mom. Some posts are hilarious, all are relatable.

Laler!

Those with a toddler may understand what “laler” is…If not, here it is ->water.  {See, that wasn’t so difficult to figure out!} I guess it was about six months ago I learned of a cut-through to avoid some pretty hectic “rush hour” traffic.   And along that cut-through is a little pond.  Right up against…

The Project Can Wait

If you’ve contemplated, researched or even looked into the face of a newborn,…
