When my son graduated high school, I was so ready for him to move out for college. I needed a break from parenting.
I was excited for my son to move out because I needed a break from parenting. I joined a Facebook group for empty nest moms and shared my vulnerable truth. I found some moms who felt similar, and we bonded. My son and I were always extremely close. Because I was a single mom, we […]

The Apple Watch is the best iPhone camera accessory you didn’t know you needed
Smartwatches and cameras rarely go together very well. We’ve seen smart wristwear with cameras fitted in the past, but the combination wasn’t very successful, and few manufacturers even bother today. However, Apple has got the smartwatch/camera combo exactly right with a special feature on the Apple Watch — and it’s one that doesn’t get talked […]

Police unions hate civilian-review panels. For years, they have resisted their creation and operation. This is regrettably short-sighted. If allowed to properly operate, these panels create transparency and accountability, enhancing respect and trust for law enforcement.
