And that means letting them get messy. Before I became a mom, I had no idea that the sight of my son smashing together two colors of Play Doh would make me cringe. Or that digging in sand would make me flash forward to all that sand being tracked into the house (and stuck between [...]
What happens when you combine those three things? Disaster, pretty much. Except this story has a (mostly) happy ending. My white iPhone 3GS is attached to my hip most of the time. We don’t have a land line any more so it’s the only way for someone to get in touch. When I’m at home, [...]
