We bought Grace a Target Vanity and “Dress Up” closet a couple of years ago, knowing that she was indeed a girlie, girl, yet all rough and tumble underneath. We didn’t want to invest in something that she would most likely destroy by the time she…

To Know and Be Known

Odd Man Out

I’m getting very tired of always being the odd man out, me against the world. I don’t know whether it’s my plight in life, but it’s a lonely place to be. And it’s never more prevalent than in my own family. As a young girl, I was the goody, goody, always choosing the right, moral…
