I love the New Year! There is something about a fresh start, a new beginning and a time to reflect back on the past year and look ahead to what the new year may bring. Every year, my husband, my two daughters and I have a tradition where we go to a coffee shop on […]
When I was in second grade, an older kid on the playground tried to push me off the swings. I hollered and protested but to no avail.
