Sorry the blog has been languishing. It’s almost embarrassing to think about. As I mentioned last weekend, my husband got laid off. So far it’s not so bad because he’s been able to spend a lot more time with the kids this week and he has about a million things… Read More
I don’t know about you, but my blog isn’t about making money. On one hand I think, “trying to advertise seems so tacky. That feels like such a sell-out.” But on the other hand I think, “why not make money on something I already do? Especially since that’s what all… Read More
Can you believe that school is almost over and I haven’t complained once about all the silly end-of-school activities that are happening? Welp, here it comes. Basically the last two weeks are nothing but fun times. The kids stop learning ten days before school ends because, hey, why not? Who… Read More
