Bios we wish we had are all about regrets and unfulfilled ambitions. Luckily, I have plenty of both. It turns out, I do regret the things I didn’t do more than the things I did—mostly. Here are a few things I’d love to add to my bio: Lara Lillibridge was brave enough to go with the stepsister she had never met on a burro-trip through the Grand Canyon when…
The topic this week is regrets. My children are eleven months apart. We wanted kids close together, but no one does that on purpose.
