The beginning of this post was drafted in a Culver’s dining room, which is where we sat for about 1 1/2 hours on Wednesday afternoon.  It certainly wasn’t because their service took that long or that I couldn’t stop gorging myself on their butter burgers.  It wasn’t because we didn’t have anything better to do […]

I got up early this morning to do a little writing and try to catch up on life before the rest of the house sprung to life.  I quietly crept out of bed, shimmied past the dog and sneaked into the bathroom. I kept the lights off and made my way to the coffee maker […]

Last week I had the pleasure of my niece’s company.  She’s four and it was a little challenging… okay, A LOT challenging.  There were moments of laughter, annoyance and pure amazement, just wondering how her little innocent and overly imaginative mind works (to all you moms with 2+ kids, I applaud you).
