Doing Fine

June 26, 2018 | Astrology, Family, Nannying, Writing

It’s week two of summer vacation in my nanny house, and I feel like a haggard parent to three. Juggling what each kid needs while managing who is throwing a tantrum, and trying not to take their kid jabs to heart when I have to lay down the law— it is wearing me out. Kudos…

June 4, 2018 | Astrology, Chicago, Domestic Violence, Mental Health, Writing

It was a weekend of fun in Morgan-land. I spent Saturday with my friend Lindsey. Admittedly, I tried to postpone our plans so I could stay in bed; but, the girl bullied me out of the house, and I’m way grateful for it. After a day of shopping and lunching, we headed to a theater…
