Winter Blues and Daily Triumphs
Another snowy day in Vermont. The cold creeps in, and the routines march on—work, school, meetings, meals. It feels like life in perpetual motion, doesn’t it? At 44, as a single mom to a fifteen-year-old, my days often feel like an endless juggle of responsibilities: navigating schedules, whipping up meals, and managing life’s curveballs.

Here’s to all the parents out there, braving their own storms, one day at a time. We’ve got this.
