It’s been quite a busy few days since returning home to New England last week. Other than working my full-time job and putting together my radio show for tomorrow night after a week off-air since I was out of state, I’ve also been trying to make the most of my weekends and an occasional, impromptu […]
Hello from North Carolina, everyone! I’m in town for the next few days after arriving this past Saturday afternoon to help out with childcare for my two favorite little bursts of energy, creativity and curiosity – and what a fun-filled weekend we had together!
