Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
No, I did not take out my phone during the worst of the weather. You can tell by how he looks once he got in to play in the second half that he is soaked through! Yes, it does rain in San Diego, but today was special. The worst of it was RIGHT when we... Continue Reading →
For the new visitors who don't know me, I have an insane habit of raising my hand to volunteer to help out my son's sports teams/leagues even though I happen to already have a full time job and run a house with 2 cats & 2 sons all by myself. My hand seems to go... Continue Reading →
