Last weekend was my first ever time away from my little boy.  It had to happen eventually…and if I’m being honest, it wasn’t something I was looking forward to at all.  It’s not that I was concerned about him while I was away (Kyle is a completely hands-on parent and can take over seamlessly), I was concerned about how I would do while I was away.  Yes, I know how ridiculous that sounds.  The thing about being a stay at home mom is that (a) I’m always with my son and (b) we lead a… Read more >
