I didn’t want to feel so depleted. The best part of quarantine for me – all the family togetherness. The worst part – all the family togetherness. It can be both – For me, most things are an AND not an OR. My kids range in age from three to thirteen. I have one that […]
I was organizing some old photos on my phone while my 1.5 year old was sitting on my lap. I browsed through every period of my life. I skimmed through my wedding photos, the birth of my son, and scrolled all the way to photos from when my husband and I were dating. I stopped […]
