I remember that time in life. The 2’s and 3’s can be so much fun, yet so challenging. I have a 2 year old niece, so I get to experience this again. I honestly love it. If I could just keep her, I would. You get a first row seat to watch your babies grow… Continue reading Dear Toddler Mom,

Can I Be Honest With You?
I just want to share part of my story. Maybe this will encourage you. Maybe it’ll make you think I’m crazy. I got married young. I had an okay example of marriage from my parents.
