Brilliant

If I could make up a the perfect parent evening I would probably want all the teachers to light up when they saw Reagan walk towards them and sit down then I would want them to gush over her academic abilities and proceed to tell us that she is a joy to teach very conscientious […]

Why America, just why….?

Spent last night on me own downstairs watching TV, drinking water which at the time felt OK, and crying!
