Yes, I am a stay-at-home-mom that DOES NOT like to stay at home! I realized early on in mommyhood that I was not a happy camper if I did not get out and see people. I remember the milestone moment...
If I could take my darling boy to Neverland, I would do it so that he would never grow up. But in reality that will never happen, no matter how much I refuse to believe he will turn 3...
With Jacksonville Fashion Week just around the corner (March 27-30th). I thought I’d share a little blog about kids and fashion. My munchkin will be walking the runway for the first time in her three years. I couldn’t be...
