Thanks Teresa! This year has truly been easier than last year, and we are so very grateful.
End of Another School Year
It's the middle of May, and that means many things for American moms of school-age kids. The first word that comes to mind is hectic. That might be why I am taking a minute or two today to stop, take a deep breath and gird my loins for what is ahead in the next couple of weeks. Prom is this...
