Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
First time that all living Presidents/President Elects are in the White House together since 1981. The event even inspired George W to make a statement that not only was Bushism-free, but was actually pretty damn cool (guess the release of pressure that must accompany the dwindling days he must spend in that office are making...

Took a break from political posts after the election due to extreme burn out. Even though things mostly went the way I personally wanted them to go, I was just done talking about it. The break has been good and I knew I was ready to dive in again when I saw this and felt... Continue Reading →
