Treat others the way you want to be treated
Happy Friday! This week felt like it went by fast since Monday was a holiday. Memorial Day has always been a kind of start to the summer. Usually its the time that pools open up, and the weather gets pretty warm from here on out. I’m assuming a lot of pools are not …
Learning to Become a Parent
Happy Wednesday, Everyone! I hope this week finds you well.

Happy Easter!
It has been awhile since I have posted. I just couldn’t really think of anything to write about. As this quarantine keeps getting extended, I’ve found myself slowly losing motivation and hope, and last week it just kind of hit me. We had several things not work out in our favor, minor plumbing …
