Happy New Year 2022
It has been more than a year since I wrote in my blog. As usual 2021 has been a very busy year. I feel like the time is just flying by and I am barely able to keep up. I took up a full time job in February of 2021. A remote job with a…
Halloween
This year’s Halloween was different like everything else. The kids didn’t get to wear costumes to school or go trick or treating.

Proud of Myself
As everybody knows, mid term elections this year are very important. I am not an ardent follower of politics, but I do have my opinions and I follow the news carefully. After all what happens today affects not just me or my family now, but it will affect my kids in the future as well….
