Parenting is not for p#$$!@$ It is the hardest job I have ever had the pleasure of doing. I have met some parents who insist on telling their children that they are “perfect”.

It Was A Zoo Out There!
Because, well, we were at the zoo. My husband and I decided we needed to get out of the house so we met two adult friends at the NC ZOO in Asheboro, NC. We had a string of really cold, wet, nasty days and Saturday promised to be sunny so we went for it! IfContinue reading “It Was A Zoo Out There!”

The Dreaded Valentine’s Day
It is a day of love for many but for me it was always such a terrible day. Being a socially awkward kid I hated the forced exchange of tiny slips of paper in class knowing I would always get the reject ones. Back in my day (oh dear god I’ve become our parents) theContinue reading “The Dreaded Valentine’s Day”
Confessing To Your Crush. . .
