notes on mastering the art of transcendence and refinement with Coached By Kate
It is pruning and weeding season. That time of year when we as a family go outside more. Not the summer fireworks and water park days but our actual yard and side walk days. The walks and outdoor patios become the main focus for any kind of meet up, the kids bikes become the playdate [...]
Ms. Joy, she was tall. Everything about her was so very, very tall. Everything about her seemed larger than life.
