how do YOU drive?

Doug usually drives while I manage the dropped toys, squabbles and the radio. When I’m not tending to the children, I’m working in my planner. This week, I pulled up to the white line behind which you are expected to stop at a red light. I came to a stop and looked closely at the […]
