Week off with the kids, vacation time, stripped down, shifting mindset and schedule to them, focused on them, us. This particular post a good example. Three in the morning, awake, listening to the sounds of the night, listening to the kids sleep. What’s the big deal? Not so big maybe; maybe just different. In a …

Settled in Unsettled
Weird feeling, let me attempt to explain a little. My family structure, a new chapter, still searching for settled. Family under two households, a second divorce, forward still, the kids the common denominator that we remain committed to, whatever “family” looks like anew? We’ll see.
