Dear Son, some vacation it turned out to be. Rationalizing that busy Christmas vacation days are necessary to keep Mid Life Celebration moving forward while also playing catchup on household projects left undone earlier in the year.

Great argument for why parents should teach kids organizational skills early, so kids don’t have to spend their adult life making up for decades of distractions (and medications) from the daily grind.

Dear Son, how has any of this been possible? Closing in on Mid Life Celebrations’s four year anniversary. That crazy 100-day promise to leave a trail for you.. remember?

And see how a crazy idea begins to grow and bloom over time when it is nurtured and believed in?
