Welcome to AHWH :) I am a mid-forties small business women who is just entering into that second phase of life. The phase where all my kids have almost moved on to their next adventure, and now I am looking at the question "What do I Want to be When They Grow Up?!" AHWH is about sharing that with you.

In the Midst of Chaos

I know I have been fairly silent this past week, we’ve had a bit of a distraction at my house.

Last week was a seriously chaotic week for me. 

As you may or may not know, I have been a foster parent for almost 20 years.  As is often the case when fostering, you never know when your home will be needed, and you just need to kind of roll with the punches, and “wing it” so to speak when new kids come into your world. Continue reading
