It’s Time To Bring Back Dysfunctional Family Bingo
It’s officially holiday season! That means it’s time to revisit the delightful diversion known as Dysfunctional Family Bingo created by author Martha Beck.

A Big Life

Going With The Flow….Day 27/30
We’re flexing. We’re rolling with the punches. This Thanksgiving holiday had 3-4 potential scenarios. I’m the one that communicates and coordinates. That’s what I did.
