  Puzzles, Are They Your Thing?

  I seem to remember as a child, my maternal grandparents loved puzzles. I don’t really remember if it was one of them more than the other but from what I can remember there was a puzzle on their dining room table all the time. As a child, I didn’t really care for puzzles as much […]

  Nothing to Prove.

  Have You Ever Wondered?

  I closed my eyes for a few minutes the other day while putting Jackson to bed (I obviously was a little tired) and when I opened my eyes I saw Jackson staring right back at me. And then I started to wonder, what does he see when he looks at me like that? I thought:

  Dear 2019, What’s Up?

  To The One Who Gets His Heart.
