August 29, 2013 by Nancy 2 Comments

We seem to attract people wherever we go who want to tell us their life story and everything they know. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Blow Your Nose On Your Goals

August 26, 2013 by Nancy Leave a Comment

Dear Will’s 15 Year-Old Self

July 25, 2013 by Sara 1 Comment

My baby is turning five on Monday.  FIVE FREAKING YEARS OLD.  Stop the damn clocks already.  I need to apologize to every person whose eyes I wanted to tear from their sockets when they said that the time will fly.  Okay.  You were right.  I'm finding it sort of unreal that the 5 pound, hairy lump … [Read more...]

backfilling your life

July 20, 2013 by Nancy 1 Comment

I have written about, thought about  and worked on backfilling my life quite a bit over the last year. As one area of your life is shrinking, you must swell a new area.
