I always have a gazillion projects en queue in my head, am usually in the middle of several at once in real life. A couple of weeks ago, when J mentioned that he was thinking about blogging again (he was quite an avid blogger when we first became friends), I enthusiastically endorsed the idea and […]

New Year, New Look, New Platform
Raising my daughter without the help of my in-laws has (surprisingly) been a lot easier than I thought.
