  • Age is irrelevant 

    So tired. It’s only nine o’clock, but the week has been long. In between meetings and obligations, I’m not sure how I did it all.  Saturday night now,  and I want to sleep after the day, week, month I’ve had. I remember when nine was when you started getting ready to go out on Saturday, as…

  • Glorious day

    Today was a full and busy day. My beautiful little girl turned five, and dressed herself in sequins and jewelry befitting her princess status.
