Life Update – August 2019
I haven’t posted the usual monthly updates on my quiet little life this year. Time for a catch-up! I last posted about daily life in January. For January and February, we hibernated – no spending or out-of-home entertainment. It helped

I Was Financially Abused (Part 1)
I lived through a very tough five-year period in the 1990s before a marriage breakup at age 34. These were the years of my pregnancy and Link’s early childhood. They gave me unparalleled happy parenting memories, along with the worst
