Adventures in Cloth Diapering: Pre-folds vs. AIO

It just made more sense to buy one diaper that will last from newborn to potty trained and for us the fit is great. However, bum genius, at $18 a diaper, could… Read More

School Plan: Part 1

I’m finally getting on the ball on the school thing. I have a goal start date of October 6th. Of course I had to have a list/lesson plan. Even if we are in “real” school yet, I still have to have a plan — written out — or it will never get done. I have been using printable scheduling resources… Read More

That was twelve years ago... and I almost listened That was twelve years ago... and I almost listened. 

I’m really glad I didn’t. To be honest, this person wasn’t wrong. At the time I wasn’t very good at writing. It was early on in my career. Hearing that I should give up was a punch to my gut and I had two choices.

You got this. I’m cheering for you.
