September 13, 2017 by not your average mom Leave a Comment

November 8, 2015 by not your average mom 11 Comments

I grew up in a small, affluent town in Connecticut. Most of my friends had huge houses and their parents drove BMWs or Mercedes or Jaguars. Some of the kids even drove those kinds of cars. They had pools and tennis courts and horses and they belonged to country clubs and riding clubs and gun […]
