My husband is able to explain to Luna Pie (19 months old) that it is bed time and put her in her crib and walk out of the room, she then somehow miraculously falls asleep. Me, not so much. The last couple of nights I’ve been trying something different. Luna Pie shares a room with […]

See What Unfolds
Chewing gum takes me back to a time in my youth (think tween to teenage years) where I felt a teeny tiny bit invincible. A bit of swagger in my step, and ready to see what unfolds is how I felt then and how I feel now when I pop a piece of delectable chicle […]

I’m reading way more into everything than necessary. Maybe […]
