It’s a little bit sweet.

Two kids home on a Monday morning. #sickday Two different viruses, one additional overlapping one. It's awesome. Two stops to two fast food restaurants at 10am for throat soothing ice cream. McDonalds ice cream machine was broken. A Frosty remedied the situation. A lot of this. Leading to a little jealousy, So a little of this ...

I carry your heart with me

I have now fallen into the role of doing bedtime for my daughter every night. Sometimes I am in a rush, to cook, or to make it on time for a dinner reservation or the start of a tv show, but other times I savor the time, letting the minutes roll by as we linger in the dark, ...

Forever and Always, You’ve got my love to lean on darling(s).

Now can you guess?" But I'll just say that if she wants to deem me her best friend for life, I'll take it.
