Please Stand By

April 18, 2011

This is the longest that I’ve gone without blogging, but I have a great excuse. I spent the last few days in New Orleans at the Mom 2.0 Summit. And it was so much for me to take in that I am still processing it. I will write about it as soon as I can, […]

What Does This Email Say To You?

April 6, 2011

To translate from Husbandrinka to English, he meant that he wanted my father’s cell phone number, because his CELL PHONE […]
