    (Younger me would have been crushed) Okay, so one of my son’s friends’ brother said to him (which he relayed to me): “Your mom looks like a grandma.” At any other stage of life, it may have crushed me. But now? I am so here for it.  Of course, I don’t know fully what that…

  • Mane Tales

    Some thoughts from the hairdresser’s chair “Is it possible for hair to get even better the second time?” Famous words of my husband after my recent haircut.
