Remember how full of challenges first grade was? There was so much to do! Learning to read, learning to spell, and learning to do math was lots of work. (If you were a grade school prodigy who found first grade to be total cake, please just imagine what it would...

My laundry is half put away. My hamper is still in the middle of the floor. I need to eat lunch because I’m really hungry. But I had this idea while putting t-shirts on hangers of writing a blog post in ten minutes, then editing it in 5 minutes and then sending it...

I’ve decided to go on a news fast. Now there are many types of fasts my body could use: a sugar fast, a cheese fast, a burrito fast. But for now I choose a weeklong news fast . . . and I’m very excited about it. For the last year, I’ve been hitting...
