About Last Night…
So, let’s back up a day, shall we? TWO nights ago I got minimal sleep because I was having so much fun finishing up the little details for the party. Now…let’s fast-forward to last night. When people finally started arriving everything was perfect. I got it all done in time, I was in costume and ready to go. The kids loved the games and the adults seemed to enjoy the conversation. We had loads of fun. Then it came time for the movie. Everyone headed their own... Read More

I’ve made too many to not have learned along the way that moving... Read More

Anonymity Goes Both Ways
Someone left me a super-kind comment the other day complimenting me on my awesomeness. It made me glow with pride and appreciation. I thought about all of the times I’ve sent other bloggers I admire similar messages. Either in a reassuring comment on their blog or in a gushing email. It got me thinking about how normal that is in the blog world. We always talk about how the internet provides anonymity to mean people to be meaner than normal to the rest of the world. But...
