Have you ever heard the saying “don’t make a mountain out of a mole hill“? It is usually in reference to making a big deal out of something small. I can’t say that I have ever seen a mole hill…do they even make hills? I do get the idea though. But what about when you […]
A few years ago, I went to Italy and one of the best activities I did was Gladiator Training. Yes, we donned tunics, learned tons of stuff about the history of gladiators and the Romans (did you know that Roman soldiers were on average less than 5 feet tall? People were MUCH shorter way back […]
Happy Mother’s Day!!! Usually this time of year I am traveling, so it is very strange to be home for Mother’s Day. With my son home from university while we wait out the restrictions, this is the first Mother’s Day I’ve actually spent with at least one of my kids in many years. Yay! To […]

As part of his lessons, he chose to learn more about food and cooking. I was really fun for both of us and something we’ll always remember. The cool […]
