a few things

Going camping this weekend with my family at Elk Neck State Park in Maryland. It’s a nice place and they have a hike out to a lighthouse. I’m enjoying being able to take a literature course since it lets me read. I never have time to read except for school stuff, which is usually tech […]

big families

Apparently big families are trendy right now. I don’t see how that makes any sense. Having kids isn’t a trend. You can’t get rid of them when it’s not trendy any more. And this article considers “big” to be anything more than 2. I don’t consider my family with 4 kids big, I consider it […]
