I heard a story on NPR yesterday about a new restaurant that just opened. It’s seaside and diners are surrounded by date palms, and greenery.

read moreThis morning was a mess. We got up late (oh where is my Miracle Morning when I need it!), my husband had to leave early, the kids were arguing about their breakfast and the dog had an accident in the Living Room. Seriously.

read moreMy father-in-law has pretty much lost his mind. He’s 90 years old and after a bad “episode” last Halloween (which I wrote about here) he spends most of his time at the Veteran’s Home sitting in his wheelchair staring into space. You can imagine. It’s heartbreaking. This week his Veteran’s Home brought in a speaker, Heather…
