Food Hell

Food hell is me in a grocery store buying anything other than paper towels and coconut water.

It was a gorgeous sunset and I grabbed my list (after which I spent an hour . . . → Read More: Food Hell

What Are You Doing?

This morning I was bringing my daughter back to Boston and we were having a discussion about life choices.

Write Like An Athelete – Cape Cod Children’s Writers Blog

While cleaning out the magazine holder I came across a crinkled copy of Writer Magazine from 2010.
