Whoa! Today was one of those days where everyone in the house was in a different orbit! Call it cabin fever, stress, boredom, whatever, but the Mothership was rockin’!! So it’s February 16 th and Spring is just a little over a month away, close enough to imagine…
Only one day after Valentine’s Day, on Friday Feb. 15th, an asteroid that’s half the size of a football field will zoom between our Earth and orbiting satellites. I got this, I’m a Mom of twins entering the hormonal orbit, surely it can’t get much worse. From what I’ve read,…
