I have a case of the blahs, not the blues more like I am tired of always being on…one of the downsides of living in Maine is that I don’t have ready access to the support system I used to have. To be honest right now, my lack of sista support has got me frazzled, always putting on the good …
I have been playing the part of a mama for twenty-one years if you include the 9 months of gestation for the college kid. It’s safe to say I know a thing or two about this parenting gig, I didn’t say that I am an expert, but I have seen things, I have seen trends come and go. Every now …
