We all have expectations. Planning is part of survival. We plan out so much of life. There is the matter of where food and shelter and our basic needs will be met, and there are other things like social events and education and our responsibilities. Some days, I wrestle with my expectations of what I […]
Sometimes, I feel like my little family is ALWAYS sick. We try to eat healthy. Lots of fruits and veggies, a lot less processed stuff than we used to… We drink orange juice and whatnot… Heck, my three year old even likes spinach. Seriously! But… such is life. We are home-bodies, most of the time, […]
