Temper Tantrums: The Mom Edition

As the mom of a four-year old, I've seen my share of temper tantrums. And there have been many, many moments when I've thought to myself okay, that was bad, but it's getting better. Or I think that we're getting to the end of the whole temper tantrum phase but then there's a solid number …

What I’m Reading – June

If I had it my way, I'd spend many, many hours each day between the pages of a book. When I was younger I would spend entire afternoons up in my room reading, sometimes finishing a whole book in one sitting. I haven't done that in ages - probably because for the last 4.5 years …
