I have to admit that using ChatGPT can be quite addicting! I still have not used it to write blog posts, emails, or letters but I find it quite useful for brainstorming ideas. My last blog post was about using ChatGPT to help with every day activities. My first try was to create a schedule …
Welcome 2025! I decided after several months of taking a break from writing the blog that it was time to come back. I promised myself when I started the blog that I wouldn’t do it if it felt like a burden or something stressful and I have really stuck to my commitment of only writing …
Now that my children have been in camp for one full week, I feel like I have a good idea of what is working for them as far as amount of food and snacks I am sending. I really dislike prepping lunches for school and camp but I realized the deconstructed approach I have taken …
