We’re all doing our best, right? Some days I feel like we’re on fire (the good kind). Killing it at work and at school, prepping meals, finishing homework, nailing presentations, making it to practice with a fully-packed bag, getting to the PTA meeting, packing healthy lunches, returning the library books on time, and just generally keeping all the balls in the air. And then, there are the days, and the weeks, and sometimes the months, where that fire is more of the steaming variety some practical jokers drop on the porch before ringing the bell and running away.

We’re a busy family of four, juggling two careers, life with two little boys, a houseful of projects, a big oaf of a dog, two gumpy old cats, and everything that comes along with busy family life.
