I have totally lost track of the calendar! Every morning, I come to ENaLR to read and share the day’s post. Today, when I came, I saw this was my week. Then I realized it was also my DAY. Yikes! I could have sworn I posted last Tuesday! LOL That’s a problem with the holidays. [...]

My husband and I had a meeting last week with Number One’s independent project advisor, so the college process has been on my mind a lot lately. We are officially two years away from graduation, and that is NOT as long a time as it sounds. This is the first huge change in her life, [...]
