When we were moving from our house to our temporary home (my very generous sister-in-law’s basement), the girls were not entirely thrilled with the upheaval of their little lives. As tired mothers are wont to do, I decided to bring out a good old fashioned bribe to smooth things...
We got a little note in Lucy’s backpack a week ago. It was addressed to the class, encouraging every parent to have their child write out their Valentines themselves, even if it took a week. And there was a reminder that we didn’t need to buy Valentines; they could be homemade. You...
