It was New Year’s 2009. I don’t remember how we rang in the new year that year, but I do remember the significant new thing we were all looking forward to as a family in the year 2009. I was sixteen weeks along with our second child, and though I had felt different and been […]

Maybe you or your kids have seen the movie “Inside Out”. It’s the story of a girl named Riley and all of the feelings that live inside of her mind and memories. Each feeling has a name and character, and the story toggles between Riley’s real life and the story that is running through her […]
