I Don’t Know

February 8, 2021

These are three of my favorite words. ‘I don’t know.’ As an employed person and a mother of six, you might assume that I don’t use this phrase often. If you were to poll a group of 100 people, I believe that most of them would say that this phrase shows weakness. It shows that… Read More I Don’t Know

Lessons Learned at the Lone Tree

October 30, 2016

My two oldest boys go to school 45 minutes south of our house in a program that I’ve written about a few times called Sussya.
