Everyone has fears. Some people are afraid of snakes (not me). Or public speaking (not me, again). Or going to the dentist (still not me…oh, wait).

I used to be really good at math. And I mean really good… I was in honors math in high school. When I decided to major in English and writing in college, I breezed through the required math classes I took. In high school, I was even in Mathletes. Go ahead and make all your […]

Halloween is almost here. My husband and I have noticed that in the last few years we’ve been getting quite a lot of—ahem–older trick-or-treaters. Like practically college age. So we’ve come up with some more rules this year that we’d like the kids to follow.
