10. Playing silly road trip scavenger hunt games. 9. People watching. 8. Watching my children realize how big the world really is and seeing their hearts grow. 7.

Management Monday: Taking Back My House (Jan. 9, 2011)
[Reading time: 3-5 minutes] Do you watch the show The Middle? This last week’s episode, titled Taking Back the House was an absolute riot! Only because it was so honest in it’s portrayal of how parents turn into the slaves of the children. Those of you that know me are more than aware that I’m…
