A Good Excuse. A Really Good Excuse.
This blog post has sat on my computer for months. Turns out having two little ones makes for not much time. Shocker. Who knew?! Oh, and I just gave away the whole point of this post...oops... This time I really do have a good excuse for the blog absence. The best kind of excuse: We … Continue reading A Good Excuse. A Really Good Excuse.
1 Thing I’ve Learned So Far #2
