A Houseful of Bobcats
I’m terrified to have large groups of people in my house. Small groups are fine, but a guest list over six gives me the cold sweats. I love people, but I love them more one-on-one. I don’t worry about the prep work. The cooking, cleaning, that’s all fine. I make the kids do it. Joke!
Kindness Eases Growing Pains
My little girl’s shoulders slumped as she got in the minivan. “The whole team was invited, Mom. I was the only one not included.” Seventh grade is hard. I know, I did it once. I’d go from elation to desperation and back again in five minutes flat. My poor parents. Later that night, with Jordan’s

New Nipple Tuesday
I’m going off the rails a bit. If you are one of those people who relishes TMI (too much information), stick with me. You’re gonna love this– we’re talking about nipples! If not, carry on with your day and I’ll catch up with you another time. Tomorrow is New Nipple Tuesday! I’ve named it that
