Week in Review 11/16/18
My week was full, a spa visit, a hayride, an arts festival. It was full and good, and now I’m ready for the weekend so maybe I can take a nap.
I Was a Perfect Stay at Home Mom (for one day).
I work while my husband stays home with our kids. Recently, my husband needed to help out with his family’s business. So I took the day off to stay home with the kids.

My kids are still too young to ask for their stamp of approval before pressing that publish button. I was curious how… Continue reading A Discussion About our Kids and their Right to Online Privacy

There was a scared little boy standing in the doorway looking down at his feet. He softly stumbled over getting out his words, “Mommy, can you stop being mad? We love you.”
What Our Dachshunds Taught Me About Parenting
I got Dixie Dog just over 7 years ago from a family in the country whose pet had a litter of puppies.

My husband-to-be adamantly did not… Continue reading What Our Dachshunds Taught Me About Parenting
