Clean socks are a privilege, not a right
Thursday morning had me filled with anxiety and upset as we stared at the boards posted outside the kids school. On it were the class listings…every grade split. Every single one. I realize that some think this is a fine way to do it…..I am not so sure. I had gone with Patrick to take […]
When you think nobody else understands how you feel, the world of the internet and blogger opens your eyes to a myriad of people who have walked in your shoes. Hence why mothers and fathers have loved the community that blogging has built for them. People on the internet share what they have experienced, […]
I was thinking about budgets and cost of living after a twitter conversation with unambig (who rocks by the way) that had stemmed from a snarky convo with angryinYVR who has yet to convince me he is angry about anything except people who don’t agree with him.

As part of the Rocky Sleep Study control group…we were to discuss safety for our darling bundles.
