The holidays can be a difficult time of year to find balance. I know personally, it’s my busiest time. The calendar is full end to end. I feel overwhelmed and tired. I haven’t even touched on the day to day tasks. And besides managing everyday life, I want to be in the giving mood and…
In case you were wondering, Stevie still hates haircuts.
The Good News: Paul had the whole week of Thanksgiving off. The Plan: Relax! We would drop Stevie off at school and go see movies. We would pick him up and go play. We would get lots of rest. We would go on a couple dates. Eat yummy food and maybe pretend we were somewhere…
