SSDGM – IYKYK

I saw something shared on Facebook recently that made me laugh out loud—why is it so spot-on? I used to be a huge fan of fictional crime and suspense novels. James Patterson was a staple on my bookshelf, and I was obsessed with prime-time crime dramas like Criminal Minds, Law…

(Almost) Mom Fail: Whipped Cream Edition

Proud Mom Moments

I am bursting with pride for my boys—and for us as parents! Last school year, their morning responsibilities included picking out their clothes, getting dressed, choosing breakfast, and selecting a snack. This year, we’ve expanded their duties to include filling their water bottles and making sure their backpacks are fully…
