Well, it was a busy couple of weeks. Little Man and I drove down to Illinois to visit my parents for a week or so, and it turned into three weeks. We spent the majority of our time at the lake. We went on so many adventures: Trail Rides, Walks, Hikes at local parks (one…

Grief is strange. Everyone grieves differently, and it is so difficult to see why one person may completely break down when they heard of a death, while one standing right next to them keeps on, calm and quiet. In my family, we have always been very open about death. From an early age, I was…

I honestly don’t know what is going on. These past two weeks I have just felt off. At first I thought it was because I was used to 7 weeks of freedom, letting Little Man run around and do what he wanted, plenty of time for just the two of us, and no one constantly…
