I wish I had the time and energy to meet you out for a cup of coffee and share every detail of our family’s crazy journey with you. And maybe someday I will. But for today you’ll have to settle for a blog coffee date and my random thoughts. I know, I know. My blog […]
I would venture a guess that most of you have at least one student in your life you are shopping for this holiday season. Whether that’s a smart-talking highschooler who thinks they know more than you or your beloved spouse heading back to school for a career change. Show them how much they mean to […]
