That never happened in Wisconsin 🙂 (They also start two weeks earlier here). Because my back... Continue Reading →
This happened quite a while back, but I'm just getting caught up on my writing! Between kids (yes, that is ALWAYS a valid excuse), vacations, ending and starting a new job, and end of summer chores, the writing has been pushed to the back. But hopefully my schedule will even out quickly and I can... Continue Reading →
