It only takes one glance around me to get me all choked up about how inadequate my homeschooling skills are. As a blogger, it only takes one click to realize how much I don’t know about the huge
Mom, Stay a Little Longer
The sink is overflowing with dishes and the floor is speckled with crumbs, but it’s time for dinner again. The easiest option is soup, so I stir and let it simmer until it’s ready.

Life isn’t always like the movies. Even the best relationships have their down days. This list is for you to share with your spouse. I know it might sound strange to give your husband a list of things you want him to say to you, but sometimes husbands wish they knew what their wife wanted them to say.
