The normal evening things like dinner, baths, books, bed are replaced with things like sessions, book shopping, professional conversations. Tonight when my grilled shrimp came to the table I just had to… Continue reading Dinner (Ruth’s SOLS)

Here’s to Teamwork! (Ruth’s SOLS)
Tonight was a quiet night. Andy had to go back to work, so it was just the kids + me. We played games, ate dinner, went through the whole getting ready for the next day routine, changed bed sheets, and picked up so the house is ready for Dessert Club tomorrow.
