Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
This time the cat was the necessary prop 🙂
There are SO MANY mommy bloggers out there, and it's fabulous. Really. Heck, it's a darn *industry*! And yes, having met a daddy-blogger last week I know they are starting to come out of the closet more and more. Still, there is just something extra special about a dad writing about moments with his kids.... Continue Reading →
Fourth Procedure by Stanley Pottinger My rating: 3 of 5 stars A thriller with a political message. Very interesting. As someone else wrote "you will never view abortion the same way again" True.
