This is the time of year when people start writing resolutions and planning to make big changes for the new year and, I can’t lie, I tend to do the same thing. So writing this post should come easy but it doesn’t. Every year I make grand plans and, for the most part, I do…
Day 25: My Day in Great Detail
Be prepared to be incredibly bored…. 06:15 Wake up 06:30 Drive the kids to the bus stop 06:35~07:00 Watch a variety of news programs; I start with Fox News, flip to CNN then land on The Daily Buzz (Fox bothers me because of the political and familial nepotism, CNN rocks it out with their music…

Day 15: My Dream House
