A Change in Seasons
For 10+ years there has been noise, lots of noise in my home...from crying to giggles, and playing tag to tattling. Silence is not something I get much of. Until today. Today our baby girl went to Kindergarten.
The truth about you
Bedtime is rapidly evolving with a 12 year-old daughter in the midst of puberty. It used to involve story time, holding her hand and lying next to her in her bed until she fell asleep. But it’s always included that one thing I never want her to forget...

That dinner bowl of chili was left uneaten tonight...and that seat at the table, empty...
