Conquering a move and the excess baggage of life

by on August 24, 2012

There is nothing quite like moving to remind you just how much stuff you have in the hidden corners of your home.  Things seem to procreate over time and that one small pile of papers to review on your desk now has another pile on the dining room table and yet another in the kitchen. … (more…)

When You Are Parenting Your Parent

Parenting the tough stuff

by on August 24, 2012

  If the small stuff like bad test grades, periodic fights with siblings, friendships that come and go, or occasional defiance with food does not faze you as a parent, the tough stuff will.  Sometimes it is a gradual progression, sometimes it comes in waves, and sometimes it hits you all at once.  Whatever the… (more…)

Dealing with the In-Laws-to-be
