If you've read my book, you might remember reading about what I refer to as the Worst. Summer. Ever. Casiday was 13 and it rained all summer long. We didn't get to do much except watch it rain. And get on each other's nerves. It was not my finest moment as a mom. But the rain and the heat and the humidity — and the 13-year-old hormones. Y'all, it wasn't pretty or fun. But we survived. And now, six years later, we can laugh about it as we enjoy our time together. Maybe you're in one of ... [Read More]
