Today in yoga the teacher played a Foo Fighters song that I have always loved (Everlong) but an acoustic version that really made me think… “if everything could ever feel this real forever if anything could be this good again” Now bear in mind these words penetrated my mind after a grueling workout very close to the point of cool […]

I have a friend who works full time. She has a nanny who is amazing and does everything! She does all the cooking, the cleaning, the laundry, the errands, getting the kids’ bags situated and lunches packed, etc. And as a result, my friend gets to come home and be fun. That’s her main responsibility once she walks in the […]
