Dr. Phillips and Windermere Florida When we moved to Orlando 9 years ago there was only one place we wanted to be: the Dr. Phillips and Windermere, Florida area. My husband's aunt and uncle have lived here for over 30...

The loneliness and heaviness of Motherhood can sink in when you least suspect it. I recently had conversations with some mom friends. The conversations took place on separate days and the friends were in different circles, but the vibe I...
