Wednesday is often my favorite day of the week because Wednesday is cub scouts night. I adore being the den leader. Usually. Yes, 8 year old boys can be a challenge. 8 year old boys can be noisy and fidgety. And, yes, it is really tough to manage noisy, fidgety, energetic, enthusiastic 8 year old…
Real Important Stuff
When MamaKat suggested sharing a journal entry from when I was 13, I knew that would be the writer’s prompt that I’d pick. I was an obsessive journal writer when I was a teenager, which is a fabulous thing. I am so glad I kept a journal. The only problem? I wrote about the same…

Losing It.
Yesterday, I was sitting with AJ, my 4 year old, clicking through blogs and reading through emails.
