There would be diapers to change, formula to fix, and plenty of sleep deprivation. Those are the things that […]
The laundry is overflowing onto the floor. Clean clothes stacked in a big wadded up pile wrinkling, which inevitably means they will need to be ironed. And dirty clothes spill out of the basket. There are a few stray black hairs from the dog littering the floor, which obviously means that my vacuum cleaner hasn’t made […]
I’m kind of sitting here at the computer aimlessly trying to figure out what to share for today. Nothing is coming to mind right off the bat. Tends to happen on occasion for those of us who blog. Inspiration comes and inspiration goes. Post ideas come and then they pass. I have a few things […]
