HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Happy Halloween Reader! What are your plans for Halloween this year? We don't have many plans this year, but we'll be trick or treating with little ones this year, so it should be extra fun. My son will be participating in his last trick or treat Halloween. He'll be 16 in December, so it's time to call it quits. He was super excited to hear he'll be home passing out candy next year! NOT! But, with the help of my very talented daughter, we'll be having a super cool party next...

Valentine's Day 2024 Hi Reader! Valentine's Day is fast approaching! Do you celebrate Valentine's Day? Or are you more of a fan of Galentine's Day?

We're also still broke from Christmas, so that's a hard "skip" for us. But my daughter does a "Galentine's Day" celebration with her friends here and she has...

Especially if you're raising children! I can tell you that it was a rough year for some of my close friends. Personally, I've had some ups and downs and I'm a bit uncertain of what 2024 has in store for me. But in the end, we made it through. Whew! We've all most certainly learned a lesson or two and we have grown...
