I love the work that Jacque Fletcher does on her blog “Becoming a Stepmom“.  I did an interview with her (which by the way didn’t feel like an interview at all) where she made me so comfortable that I would have told her anything.  And she has written a wonderful book entitled “The Career Girl’s [...]

I can feel it coming.  Can you?
My self destruction is looming in the corner.  Taunting me.  Ready to take over at  my slightest concession.  This is what I do.  It’s what I’ve done.  It’s who I’ve been.

Well?  How do you like it?
As you can see, I’ve been busy as a little bee redesigning thegrownupchild.ca.  And I really hope you like it.  The header was designed by Lauren over at Restored 316 Designs and I did the rest myself.  I’m still not completely done but the rest of the changes will be [...]
