I’m always a little sad when summer is over. It means I get to see my baby son a little less as he has to do that school thing. He just started 6th grade and his complaints have been endless. He was quite offended that they gave him […]
This past summer (and yes this summer seems over) I had a chance to travel to Puerto Rico. Well, I didn’t have a chance. I made it happen. I took my son with me as the protests were winding down over the governor. This was the summer of […]
Summer is coming to a close. And, I am obsessed with that fact. Some might push back and remind me that technically we still have 30 days till autumn officially begins. But everyday from this weekend through August I’m going to be thinking of how I can make […]
