Scout’s Honor
Tuesday night I sent my son and husband off to Boy Scouts, but not before I noticed something flapping around on my son’s chest. Turns out it was the Bear and Wolf patches on his Boy Scout uniform. So what? You ask. Well, he’s been a Wolf for 18 months now and a Bear for [Read More]

A Brother, a Sister, and an American Girl Doll
Once upon a time, I had two children. They loved each other. Maybe because they were 3 1/2 years apart in age and different genders they got along for many years.
