Before kids I would pick up a book and breeze through it. Since having my girls though I’ve developed quite a bad habit of picking up a book and then somewhere along the way I end up setting it down for weeks or even months on end. I sometimes wonder if it’s really a bad… Continue reading Hope for the Mom

There’s a different feeling in the air today, like a good friend that’s leaving you after being by your side during happy times and seeing you through tough ones, and introducing you to someone new.
