Micah is starting kindergarten next month. I’m not old enough to be here. Well, I am. Obviously. But I really don’t feel like it. He had his preschool graduation and kindergarten orientation a couple of months ago, and we got a lot of lists. What […]
Motherhood is hard. I feel like I write about this a lot, both privately and on the blog. It is the season of life I am in right now, however. I have a baby who still physically needs me, but wants to be independent. A […]
