This year I’m feeling quite different than I did last year when it comes to “Back to School.” This year I KNOW he’s got this, while last year my son was entering kindergarten and I wasn’t quite as sure. It was a new school, new classmates, a new environment and I fretted endlessly about […]
Ever since IKEA opened a store in my backyard, every once in a while I get the hankering to get lost amongst the reasonably priced Swedish furniture and other knick knacks while sipping on some lingonberry juice.
