I’m not very good at making time for myself. I know I should. It’s not healthy to always give and go and never take time out to rest your body, feed your soul, nourish your spirit. I’m not good at carving out those moments for myself (except for my all-too-frequent ADD episodes of getting lost...

For over a month. (sigh) I guess in my heart I didn’t want to admit that it has really happened. That my baby is no longer a baby.

As soon as I clicked the shutter, I swear I felt my heart flutter just a bit. You see, this sweet boy has been begging me for SURFING LESSONS. He wears a surfboard charm around his neck and he’s worn Reefs since before he could even walk. His hair is long, blond, and I’m more...
