When I quit my job at a local mental health agency, they invited me to stay on board as a contracted worker to do drug and alcohol assessments two days a week. (Another topic for another post. The assessment, called the GAIN, is insane.) Naturally, when I quit as a...

Are you nervous about going camping before winter comes? Don't worry. I'm here to help you. If you're anything like me, you have gone camping very few times in your life because your mom was the type of lady that thought "roughing it" was a Motel Six with grungy...

So, when you're sitting in priesthood meeting in church and your almost one-year-old is crawling on the floor of the gym, just let her roam. It's not a big deal! Babies are babies. Then, when she crawls over to a metal cart that is used to transport hymnals, go ahead...
