I’m having a little contest with myself to see how many days in a row I can update my blog. I gave up yesterday after only the third day. I got too bogged down in trying to finish our taxes. Why do I always wait until the last day to file? Why does the IRS…

One of the things we’ve looked forward to all year was the school talent show. The talent show is one of the…
I’m one of those people who loves to set goals. So, every Jan. 1, I sit down and write out my goals for the year. A few weeks later, like most people, I have already started going back to my old habits and losing track of whatever goals I set. This year, I decided to…
