The Haircut
My girl got a haircut. Those beautiful, long, golden locks were cut and donated. She is so proud.
Finding Home
We were weary as we pulled into the parking lot of our building after a long day of apartment hunting. It’s tiring work, and a bit nerve-wracking, looking for a new place to call home, one that meets our needs, is close to a good school, and most importantly, one that we can afford. We […]
Living in the gap

Get Your Ducks In A Row
Every single one of my New Years Resolutions have already been derailed, in the first six weeks of the year. My resolutions weren’t anything revolutionary or out of the ordinary.
