It seems obvious to any person who went to grade school in or before the 90s, but there was a point in time when the internet was considered not a reliable place to cite a source or quote from. It turns out the internet got pretty great, and people started to use it for a […]
A pandemic a pleurisy and parenting – Everything is changing
On Friday the 13th, I was diagnosed with a pleurisy and eventually asked to get a COVID-19 test. Parenting three kids during a pandemic is a challenge to be sure. Overall I’m super proud of my kids response! We’ve done our best to explain something that is really hard to understand for a 2, 3 […]
