Reader Feature: Gay’s Birthday Wish

What I Didn’t Miss
Last week I wrote a post about the things I missed at home while Lenny and I were away on a kid-free, company-hosted getaway to Puerto Rico. While it was a sweet reflection for me, I was surprised by … [Read More...]
12 Things I Learned This Week, Vol 134
From infinity pools to washing machines. From mojitos to cough medicine. From lounge chairs to basketball bleachers. I'm afraid there's no denying the fact that vacation is over. It sure was fun while … [Read More...]
What I Missed Most
For the past eight days (yes, eight days!) Lenny and I have been away, sans kids. You see, Lenny's really good at what he does. Like eight-days-in-Puerto-Rico-at-world-class-resorts good at what he … [Read More...]
