I don’t know about you, but I have a lot of old jeans in my house. They have holes or stains or are otherwise unfashionable, but I can’t bear to part with them. If you have a pair of jeans you aren’t wearing any more, you can use the pocket and a few simple supplies […]
Holiday Time is Catch-up Time
When I decided to send the Bit to preschool, it was a difficult but really calculated decision. I knew that if I was going to continue working, if I ever wanted to make more of a name for myself or write a book ever again, I was going to need more time to work. I […]
