Welcome To The Show
Where have I been for the last year? Welcome to the show. Or more accurately, the circus. Because that is how we’ve been adjusting to life with three kids. Don’t ask me how many weeks old the baby is, because I don’t know. I don’t know what day of the week it is or whatRead more
