“Women can have it all!” Who said that? And can I punch that person? What if we don’t want it all? What if we just want a little bit?  I don’t need it all. I’m not good at all of it. Sometimes I want all of it to go away.   Some days I don’t knowContinue reading “Help – I’m Drowning!”

Field Trip Fashion Fail

After a horrendous first go around,(for the full details on my previous trip click here ), I lost my sanity and decided to give it another go.
