My 12 Questions of Christmas

December 19, 2018 By Ellen

Kids’ questions that don’t have an easy answer…

June 10, 2014 By Ellen

“But why?” It’s a question that draws a deep sigh from even the most patient parent.

January 15, 2013 By Ellen

Today was my regular (ish) trip to the hairdresser.  I came away with a haircut and some questions:  How can there possibly so many different (expensive) substances to glue your hair?  How can something be both blow dried and finger dried?  Why is the music so loud?  Why do you insist in painting bits of […]
