Our mornings have changed quite a bit since I wrote this (and never finished it) but I thought it was pretty interesting so I figured I’d post it anyway as a record of our life back in 2018… So this morning I woke […]
I LOVE the UpdraftPlus plugin. LOVE. IT. And someday when I have the money I may decide I need to upgrade to a paid version.

This topic just came up, again, on one of the Facebook groups that I am a member of. And to be perfectly honest, I struggle BIG TIME with this EVERY.SINGLE.DAY with both my kids (18 and 13). But especially my 13yr old son. I haven’t solved it yet, but I do know this… Getting into a battle of wills does […]

But the opinions expressed here are entirely my own.
