If You’re Grumpy and You Know It…Read a Book!

Logan has been pretty grumpy lately. I’m not really sure why, and frankly I’m not even sure if he knows why most of the time, but I’ve been a little concerned about it for a while.

I knew something was bothering him, but he couldn’t seem to vocalize what it was. Instead he would hit, kick, scream, and throw things. I was at a … Continue reading →

As you know, some of the work that is done by home – based professionals takes place outside of the home. As part of my home – based law practice, I must occasionally leave home to go to court.

On the positive side, spending time around other lawyers and courthouse staff helps me to feel connected to my profession.
