I miss you, little blog, but summer is kicking my butt. Well, summer plus having my husband on the other side of the world (New Zealand) for a week. It seems I wake up with the kids and go to sleep with the kids. We’ve had a lot of fun so far, but I’d be [...]

This being Mother’s Day, I am compelled to dedicate this Gratitude Sunday post to my children and my mother. Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there!!
