Saying YES This Summer
Summer has made me a bit MIA here lately and I can’t apologize for it. There are times I wish I would sit down and write about more of the little things, for Cora’s sake. For my sake as well, honestly. That was one piece of advice that I wish I would have taken, getting a journal when Cora was…

Distance, timing and well, I’m on my own
Last week my husband enjoyed four days and three nights, away from me, in the warmth that is Vegas. A place that involved above freezing temps, shorts, flip flops and he even managed a bit of a sunburn one day. I was jealous to say the least but since I’m leaving for England soon, I won’t whine.…
