Memories that Stand the Test of Time As long as I live, I will remember sticking my hands into brown paper bags at Halloween on my friend’s screened in porch.

Advice from a Friend I recently read 13 Things Mentally Strong Women Don’t Do and I couldn’t put it down. Amy Morin gives good advice but what I enjoy the most are the real-life examples she shares. Morin is a licensed clinical social worker, an instructor at Northeastern University, and a psychotherapist. You may feel …

I like your glasses

There’s not enough time in this life to teach our children everything we want them to know. And so, naturally, they learn by what we do. They learn by being with us. They emulate who we are or who we are not and should be.  Today my daughter and I went to the bathroom in …

Flowers

Today I bought myself flowers, bright and colorful from the store. I put them in a vase with water, I knew what they were for. I sat there and I stared at them. I moved them place to place. I thought how beautiful, as tears slid down my face. I’ve learned this is a grown …

Splash into Summer with H2OBX! There is no better time to start planning your trip! Our first trip to the waterpark did not disappoint.

Faster than you think

by Hannahupdated on June 17, 2022May 11, 2022Leave a Comment on Faster than you think

My Parents My parents practice a cool strategy sometimes when my mom’s feet freeze from Parkinson’s disease. The first time I saw it, I doubted it would work. My dad stands in front of mom, holds her hands, and then proceeds to walk backward. Sometimes it doesn’t work at all, sometimes it works slowly, and …
