14 years. They’ve been awesome years, but it’s still been 14 years since Josh and I have gone away by ourselves for more than one night. We’ve jumped through hoops here and there to escape the chaos for a few hours when a child was done nursing and the next one hadn’t yet arrived. But… Read More The Rhodes to a Long Awaited Vacation
I remember sitting in a shiur (lecture) a number of years ago and hearing an idea that I’d never heard before about money.

Today, as we traveled from Charlotte, North Carolina to Los Angeles, the mantra of the day was “One, Two, Three, Four,… Read More All Is Relative
