It’s November which means it’s officially turkey season! Every year I get quite jazzed about this yummy source of protein going on sale.

I struggle in the quiet. As a mother of four children you would think that quiet would be a sought after prize. While it is true that I do sometimes say I could just use some quiet, deep down I don’t really mean it. I hate the quiet. The quiet makes my brain light up… Continue reading I struggle in the quiet
