Caving in and a Close Call

I worked from home today so that I could monitor/supervise the final outdoor preparations for DS1’s party tomorrow. (Coming soon – a lovely post on the creation of my new backyard oasis)

My perfectionism is of course getting in the way of the good enough around here, just like everywhere else in my life. Thanks [...]
