Confession: I don’t own a bike. I used to. Remember the days of old, when you and your tween friends would hop on your bikes and ride for hours, without your parents having a blessed clue where you were?? It’s been years since I’ve owned one, but that doesn’t really bother me. I don’t even […]
Spring Sing
It’s almost the end of the school year, so of course the events, ceremonies, parties, and concerts are piling up on the family schedule. If you looked at my kitchen calendar, it’s color-coded listings resemble something like this for the next month or so: But this past Tuesday night was a big one- the elementary […]
No Park-ing: 10 Reasons I Dread The Playground
Spring has sprung, baby! Ah, the warmth, the shining sun, longer days. You already know how I feel about being cold, so the change has been great.
