Morning!

Theoretically, today should be a day of relaxation. In reality, methinks it will be a chunked up day - bunches of work interspersed with kid time, family time, and, well, chunks of work.
The good news is that my eldest has settled on how she will make money during the summer. […]

Go ahead, stab me. DO IT! Teaching children how NOT to be brainless followers
