Life Lessons I’ve Learned in 30 Years of Living

This month marks my 30th birthday! Being a milestone (decade) year, I thought I would take the chance to reflect a bit on what I’ve learned so far in my life. In many ways, I still feel like a baby when I compare my current wisdom and knowledge to the seemingly infinite amount that is [...]

A Time for Work. A Time for Play.

My mornings recently have been a lot busier than usual, because I’m preparing to launch a new design for my main business, Music Teacher’s Helper.

As I mentioned in a previous post, we are very heavily leaning toward home schooling our kids.
