I just spent a week away from work. My older kids were at camp for 5 days, and the youngest stayed with a friend. I didn’t cook, clean or organize anything. We went out for dinner, talked, went to bed and got up when we…
I’m crocheting myself a nap blanket. In the summer? Well, there’s a story behind this. First of all, I’m not very good at it. I can make straight lines, stripes really, and that’s about it. My mom taught my ages ago how to…
