July is birthday month in our household. Both of our daughters were born in July. And my mom's birthday was in July, too. Not only did we have parties, but we also had fireworks. And cake. And Vacations. Basically, we had a lot of fun over the years. It's quiet here this year. No birthday… Continue reading Why July is my favorite month

A twisted Independence Day
Here we are, July 4th, 2019. Where did the first half of the year go? I'm still in shock that I feel like it went by way too fast. Even if I felt like I was in the right spot, at the right time, sh*t happens in life, and we either go with the flow,… Continue reading A twisted Independence Day

But, we know we/I'd have to one way or another. It is inevitable. All parents go through it. At least I'm not alone, even… Continue reading A perfect empty nest friendship gift
