I blinked and it’s the first day of Autumn?! How did that happen? How? I will tell you how! End of summer festivities, getting ready for Virtual PreK, a 3rd birthday, packing up my house and trying to be a great mom, daughter and friend. This summer was amazing. We made so many memories.

Life without WiFi & Cable
I thought I could do it.. I told myself I could. I said I would be able to survive without unlimited WiFi and Cable TV. We have some movies, TV shows and Cartoons saved on the computer to pass the time if the boys get too much to handle and I need a break. Yes, I’m that mom. I put …

I finally have time to sit back and reflect on the day and everything that happened. This is an important process for me. …
