The Post We Wrote Together

May 27, 2021 By Cara Putman

I'm sitting here... a bit blank. So I've asked my 10 year old for a topic for today's post. We'll see how this goes. He's not exactly cooperating. Ah, now he is. (BTW, isn't his smolder the cutest?) The topic: TEETH. Really? Of all words he could choose? Teeth? So he has a really loose tooth. That probably led to the word choice. I don't know about you, but one of the most … [Read more...]

I really don't mind, but I was surprised to realize it had been four and a half years since my last headshots were taken. My time flies when you're stuck at home! There's the angst of what to wear. And what if my hair doesn't cooperate. Does … [Read more...]
