Letting Go of Guilt
Okay, so let’s talk about guilt and your kids…Oh, do we have to? Yesterday we went to my middle daughter’s track meet. I dropped her off with a friend and ran an errand. When I got back to the school, my husband who came from work met me in the parking lot and told me […]
Portland Family Luncheon
Yesterday, I attended a luncheon at Belly Restaurant with Portland Family magazine. PF invited small local business owners, writers, and PF readers to share their vision of who they are and where they want to go.

Word Count Blogathon
I get frustrated with my kids when they don’t tell me they have a question on their Math page. I open the workbook and see an empty spot where there should be some numbers, some equation…something.
