October 1st will be exactly since six months since Mothering Mothering went from being a manuscript to being a book. It has been both a short, and long six months.

Yes, that’s right, so I’ve devised my own CNN diet.

Day 4 took us to Alzheimer’s Notes and host Mary Emma. I found that her questions delved straight into the heart of Alzheimer’s and what both the caregiver and care-receiver (I prefer saying loved one to receiver since it can distinguish family and friend care from professional care).
