I mean, how else would you know that the cat in the hat really DOES like green eggs and ham? Today is ‘Read across America’ day in honor of the late, great Dr. Seuss. I never actually read any Dr. Seuss as a child, so I’m learning it all now with Keeley. The only one […]

Our weekend was completely open. We could have done anything. We ended up visiting with family and spending a lot of time on the road. Not so great for sleep, but perhaps good for the soul? My husband got in touch with his younger sister. She turned 18 in the fall, and will graduate this […]
