I love to travel, try new foods, ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. A psychologist by training trying to bring a little common sense to it all.
A few weeks back, right after I was getting over having both the flu and a sinus infection, I had a very trying day. Or rather my family did as a whole. And, my son will not forget that day for a long time to come. Trying days […]
Despite loving dresses and high heels, as well as wearing them everyday, I have never been a very girlie girl. To some, that just doesn’t add up or make sense. I’m not saying I was a tomboy. But I just was never that into manicures (mani-pedis), for instance. […]
