Did Someone Say Fair?

I can’t believe it’s the end of August. I’m torn between complete denial that summer’s over and jubilation that we’re getting back into a routine. What I really need is a couple of days poolside while the kids are tucked away in school. Dang it, can someone make that happen for me, please? All Week/Multiple … [Read more…]

Family Notes and Links
