I’m actually in school to be a therapist, but sometimes the best relationship lessons are from real life, not a text book, right?  Such is the case here. Because I’m working on this degree, I get home from work and many days put my face in a laptop until bed time.  A few days ago, Brady […]

Photo Credit: Getty Images/Deagreez This week my son sent me a text with the “I got in!”  With that text was a picture of an acceptance letter to the college of his choice.  He was extremely happy.  As a parent, naturally, I was proud.  One of the things I said was that we need to […]

When you are having a bad day and something as simple as someone saying that they like your shirt, can brighten your […]
