Hi. I hope you’re doing well. We are percolating along. Our two sons, whom I’ll refer to as C and J, are doing great, thankfully. C is 5. We decided to wait to start kindergarten till next year, given covid, etc. We’re still deciding whether we want to do public school or home school. J …
How to Choose the Best Colors for your Fall Decor
Of all the seasons, I find fall the trickiest. Orange, brown, green, yellow… these colors can either add to or subtract from the feeling in a room, depending on their shade. (Or you can just decorate with all of them and just enjoy it. That works too.) To pick the best shades for your home, …

I’ve had one of those days. One of my kids has had food poisoning. My back is trying to spasm. I’ve spent hours trying to clean and feel like I’ve hardly made a dent. Something that helps me is to realize that there are no easy answers. There is no bandaid that can fix life, …
