An “Aha” Moment On Parenting – Thank You Subaru!

Parenting style. One of those topics that can get as heated as a discussion on politics or religion. You don’t question someone else’s style, and you don’t want anyone questioning yours.

Finally, Some Balance In My Life!

Shhhh, listen…. Do you hear that?  It’s silence.  It’s me in my house, living it up, by myself, lavishing in the moment.   I am actually working without interruption because the kids are all back in school and I don’t have to worry about keeping them entertained day in and day out. Instead, I am having conference...
