Stressors at school, teachers, and relationships are just a few of the topics we chat about in the dark. Sometimes we […]
My son wanted to see the “list”. Years before I met my husband, I had written down all the qualities I was looking for in a spouse. My kids learned about this list and my son had been begging to see it. So there we were on the car ride home from […]
