Guys, I am a mere 24 hours away from VACATION, and I can barely contain my excitement. I’m supposed to do work today? Doubtful. Pretty doubtful. Where are we going, you ask? Maine! I’ve never been and I can’t wait. My husband is having a big birthday this weekend, so we’re taking a long weekend … Continue reading
Anyone else feel like they’re in the middle of a baby boom? I feel like there are a lot of new, little people in my life lately. And — in what I hope is a weird coincidence and not the set-up for some sort of apocalyptic world where the human race dies out — they’re … Continue reading
