FOMO No Mo’

I do love a good party. Denver, Colorado. Isley turned seven. A birthday party with donuts instead of cake. Big-as-your-face donuts. Waffles and fried chicken. Celebration food. Daughter Courtney and her husband, Michael, were the hosts and chefs. Their tiny house was party central for this extravaganza. Spectacular food. Stellar company. The entertainment centered around their…

Mother’s Day. This day is second only to Valentine’s Day in creating angst and discomfort for many women. It’s a day to celebrate Mom.
