Here’s wishing all of my blog friends a very Happy Mother’s Day this Sunday. Whether you have kids, dogs, cats or some other pet, this still makes you a mom.

Labor Day is almost here — the last holiday of the summer. I know I’ve said this before but the days are passing by faster than a Chinese bullet train. Does it seem to you like we just finished observing Memorial Day? School is back in session, to the relief of 99.9% of all parents, [...]

I have decided to take a mini-vacation this week but hopefully I’ll be back with some new stuff soon. In the meantime, I am reposting an older column, which you may or may not have read. Either way, I hope you enjoy it. If you’ve already read it, click on some of the links in [...]
