This is my first, and possibly only, summer staying at home with my daughter, 5-year-old Snowy. I plan to take full advantage of it, and have a lot of plans for things for Snowy and I to do together. I plan to write regular weekly posts on what we did during that week so you […]

“Mommy needs a drink.” “It’s wine o clock.” At least where I look, mainly online but also something I’ve heard in everyday life, mommy drinking culture is pervasive.
