Things I’ve Learned, And Things I Haven’t
I was just going through a box of old notebooks and I found a journal that I kept during the summer of 1999. I was a 23-year-old single mom of 3- and 1-year old boys. I worked full time, while … Continue reading

A Season of Change
This weekend, we finally got some nice fall weather. After a record-breakingly hot summer, it is even more welcome than usual. With the arrival of fall, I can’t help but think back to this time last year, when I my … Continue reading

I finally added a blog roll. Hey, it only took me 10 months! It’s not quite done. I still need to add my “other” sites, and I am sure I forgot someone, but at least the bulk of the work … Continue reading
