So, remember when I posted about my complete inability to cook a few weeks ago? Well, I am happy to share I have become a new woman. That's right. Rejuvenation 2.0. I partly have my friend Catie to thank. While we were in San Fran, I had so fun watching her pull together dinners for the fam [...]

I remember spending the weeks before the first day of school in anticipation and I worried about everything. Would he be nervous? What if he doesn’t make new friends?
