As the title of this blog post might suggest, I've got some issues that need your attention, dear readers. I've got a mommy in my life who has gone all judge-y on my normally far-too-busy-to-give-a-care self and I'm feeling the burn. I mean, I tend to let my kids figure stuff out for themselves. I'm … [Read more...]
Giving it Away for Free

I get asked about it all of the time and these conversations never cease to amaze me. Here is what I know … [Read more...]
