I've actually been on the road more than I've been home (22 days out of the last 6 weeks), and we've spent more…
source: Mary Engelbreit This post is so far out of my comfort zone it's not even funny. I don't usually blog about current events at all, opting to let other, better writers address them and then sharing the posts that resonate with me instead.

The following post is from Jennifer, a lifelong educator: When you haven’t seen your kids all day, it’s important to arrive home in a good mood so you can more easily reconnect with your family. The way you feel when you walk in the door can help you set a positive tone that carries into the evening, thus…
The following post is from Jennifer, a lifelong educator: Did you ever hear your parents fight when you were growing up? Most of us did at some point. It didn’t happen often at my house, but an exchange of angry words sent me running to my room. I couldn’t define all of the emotions back…
