Today I am putting myself out there. I feel the need for authenticity, and so here goes! I’ve been off center, irritable, and simply not myself these last few weeks. So yesterday morning, I went for a run to release some of my discomfort. At the end of my run, I...
Hello It has been a hectic few weeks, and I have to admit that although I am committed to blogging twice a month…this past week I slipped. All for good reason of course (isn’t it always in parenthood?). We bought a home, reconstructed and designed it,...
