Day 28/31 Five Minute Free Writes: Song

Day 20/31 Five Minute Free Writes: Audience

Day 15/31 Five Minute Free Writes: When

Day 13/31 Five Minute Free Writes: Talk
Day 13 My oldest daughter just turned two in early June. She had been talking for about a year even prior to that. Everywhere I take her, whether it be to her classroom at church or the YMCA or even to the grocery store,… Continue Reading “Day 13/31 Five Minute Free Writes: Talk”
