As I kissed Cody to send him off to school this last Friday morning, I registered the sound of a noise in the background somewhere...music, or something? It sounded a lot like the opening of the t.v. show "The Office"...but I hadn't turned the tv on that morning at all...what the heck?!, I thought. I... Continue Reading →
Minimalism allows me not to care…
