July is birthday month in our household. Both of our daughters were born in July. And my mom's birthday was in July, too. Not only did we have parties, but we also had fireworks. And cake. And Vacations. Basically, we had a lot of fun over the years. It's quiet here this year. No birthday… Continue reading Why July is my favorite month

Empty Nest Reflections on Mother’s Day
It's quiet here this morning in our Lil' ol' empty nest. I'm an empty nest Mom, on Mother's Day. There, I said it. It's the first Mother's Day where I won't see either daughter.
