Well hello there friends, how is life treating you? Have any fun plans for the 4th of July weekend? We will be spending the day at my sister’s house where she lives on a quiet but fun block, and we’ll be grilling and watching the kids have the time of their lives in one of […]

The past couple of weeks have been a turning point for me, and I finally feel like things are settling down, and I’m catching up.
