Delivered to my front porch by a (not so) mystery person The coffee and chocolate get me through the days but the people who surround me, they get me through life. Top of the list in my gratitude journal? The people. Husband. Family. Friends - in real life. Online - yes, those I have never met … [Read more...]
I hate it

A totally different leash
I've written about the difficult balance between giving Cam freedom to do what he wants and making sure he stays safe and makes good choices.

What year they were born in. In the car his pattern is asking who sings the song playing on the … [Read more...]
