Alexandra works both at home as a stay at home mother to 3 boys and as a caterer. She asks you to guess which job is more difficult. Most days she can be found madly scribbling with the closest crayon on any available scrap of paper, noting the constant blog fodder that being a mother of only boys provides.

Our town has renovated an old theater into a community supported movie theater. We show movies that are… Continue reading Is it Only a Movie?
