I’m glad you’re back! I’m feeling like I need some friends around right about now. It’s been a challenging two weeks, and the first thing to go when I’m busy and squeezed is my time with friends. Then I feel isolated and lonely and even…
Ok everyone, it’s confession time. I’ve been slippin’… Why Dr Christian Parks, wonder woman, mom extraordinaire, whatever do you mean? (Are you catching the sarcasm?) It’s week 52 of this blog, one year worth of posts (though I may have missed a week or…
