It’s officially the last day of the blogathon today. I had such a great experience with it this year, much more so than last year. Here’s what I took away this time around: * Blogging every day is really, really hard, but incredibly satisfying. * I’m not a fan of blogging on the weekends. It [...]
I’m proud to say that I think we have a budding writer in the family. Rachel writes poems and songs, both of which illustrate her grasp and use of language. (Of course, I’m not at all biased or anything.) The following is a poem that she wrote for me last year, at age 8. [...]
