Happy Friday, friends! Who else is as excited for the weekend as I am? We’re surprising the kiddos with a trip to Great Wolf Lodge tomorrow (sshhhh!) — our first time there! (Recap and review to come, of course.) And then I am taking the beginning of next week off to give Buddy a bit […]
Five for Friday {7.24.15}
I survived the first week of what my colleagues and I call “re-entry” — that painful first week back to reality after vacation. Mercifully, it flew by, even though I’ve been playing the “What was I doing last Tuesday?” game each day. We had a marvelous time, but rather than posting a recap (considering […]
Five for Friday {4.17.15}

He’s the first to run up and congratulate me after a race, giving me a fierce hug, […]

Five for Friday {3.6.15}
