Latest From Living Large: Light at the End of the Tunnel

Written ByLynn

I’m writing this on Saturday, anticipating moving the kids into their new apartment tomorrow. Once they are settled, I can start to get my house back in order; however, that will require evicting the 10 large birds that are living in a pen in our dining room.

A cozy bedroom with a large bed, a small bed with a teddy bear, floral armchair, dresser with flowers, bookshelf, oval rug, wall-mounted TV featuring the latest shows, and windows with floral curtains letting in natural light.
I used AI to give me an inspiration picture for what I want to do with our guest bedroom to make it a cozy place for both guests and little man!

A peek into my life

Lynn’s Recollections & Reflections

I have a little series that started out as a journal of sorts for my kids to have about my life. It became something more.

It’s a place where I share a very personal look into my life and believe it or not have helped some people get out of unhealthy situations.

It’s a work of fiction as it relates to others as it is my recollections of events. I hope you enjoy!
