Being in a new home has given me a lot of perspective on change and adaptation…both of which we are doing a lot of lately. The husband is love, love, loving his new job at the clinic and I am so proud of him for pursuing what it was that he really, really wanted. He […]

  Welcome back to the second edition of No Mom Talk Monday here on the new [and might I say, improved?] Mommy Matters blog. Thanks to those of you who linked up last week! You guys made my day! **In case you aren’t familiar with No Mom Talk Monday, the rules are quite simple: You […]
