The Adventures of Super Normal GirlJust had a birthday recently. Double 4, to be exact. 44 used to be old.

Settling in quite nicely after a couple of weeks in our new house. Daughter and I had to move when my mom and I had our big falling out the night I came home after being oversees for 2 weeks. No worries, though, we have fallen back in, so to speak. But here we are, […]
