Temptations of construction

This time of year is challenging for me.  I'm taking lots of deep breaths to avoid extra stress.

This empty nest mom’s solo adventure

As an empty nest mom, I wonder a lot about what my kids might be up to, or how they are doing, or I think about how fun it was to have them arrive home every day after school to tell me how their day went.   They'd go off to their little school and… Continue reading This empty nest mom’s solo adventure
