Surviving Belize
We’re back from Belize, and – surprise! – we’re alive. If you missed my initial post “Preparing to Die in Belize,” you missed a whole lot of anxiety over not much of anything, but as a parent, that feels kind of normal.

A week long international trip without my three small children was bound to invoke a little paranoia.
