The Quilt

My Person

October 29, 2012

I think everyone should have at least one best friend.  A person you could turn to for anything.  A Meredith to your Christina.

On Second Grade and Second Chances

August 27, 2012

Michael starts school today, and I have very mixed feelings about it.  I am not the parent that counts down until summer ends.  I love summer.  Long days at the pool, vacations, less stress.  This was not the stress free summer I envisioned when it started, but school is so stressful for us, that summer [...]
