Shy? or Smart? what do you think?
I know weird title but it's what's on my mind. Today while standing in line at the Post Office I got to witness a sadly common practice amongst parents and strangers. I've seen this happen on more than one occasion, yet every time it occurs I stand dumbfounded... okay, sometimes I open my mouth and make a comment, other times I stand in disbelief. I remember being taught … [Read more...] about Shy? or Smart? what do you think?

Usually going to any store can be a bit of chaos for me anyhow because of sensory overload -- people's perfumes, chemical smells, noise, people in my 'personal space' then through in the people who hit you with their cart, … [Read more...] about Purses and Checkouts
