The miracle of the stockings

Categories: Life

I needed a sixth red satin stocking, made out of red satin from a store that doesn’t exist any more.

How I define myself now is so incredibly different in a lot of ways from how I would’ve defined myself 15-25 years ago. There are some constants though. Keep reading

Warehouse Stores

Categories: Family, Life

What is it about stores that sell things in bulk that also means people have to comment when you have kids in bulk? … I often watch our kids and comment that we had them purely for the entertainment value they provide.
