As a high-anxiety person, I’ve spent a lot of time wrestling with myself. There always seems to be something to worry about. And sometimes I get the strange feeling things will go worse if I don’t devote enough time to the … Read More Read More
The Warrior and Victory The Warrior and Victory By Megan Cutler | October 20, 2014 | Comments 0 Comment The next stop on our giant England vacation was Portsmouth, where we hoped to introduce our friends from opposite sides of the ocean.

The Sleepless Season The Sleepless Season By Megan Cutler | September 22, 2014 | Comments 1 comment The main trouble with insomnia is that it perpetuates itself.

A Life Resumed A Life Resumed By Megan Cutler | August 11, 2014 | Comments 0 Comment A year ago we packed our life into storage and flew across the ocean for an amazing adventure. It wasn’t easy, selling our first house on short notice, leaving behind everything we spent a decade building, but we did it because we’ve always believed in following our dreams. I never imagined marrying a teacher would … Read More Read More
Summer Vacation! Summer Vacation! By Megan Cutler | July 28, 2014 | Comments 0 Comment English schools run quite a bit later than we’re used to. Here we are at the end of July and we’ve finally reached hubby’s first full week of summer vacation! (Canadian Schools finished back in June!)
