January 10, 2021 By Katy 1 Comment

“Mom, did they have paper plates when you were little?” I looked at my teen who had just asked this question, thinking he had to be joking. But he stared at me with all seriousness. My teenager thought we didn’t have PAPER PLATES when I was little? You mean, in the 70s and 80s? Yikes! [Read More]

5 Reasons The Junior Varsity Team Was Right For My Teen

October 11, 2020 By Katy 4 Comments

Whew. That’s me wiping my brow now that the fall sports season is over in our house. My son, 16, played water polo for his high school while my daughter, 12, played volleyball for her middle school. Both of them also played ice hockey a bit, too, as that is a sport that seems to [Read More]
