I strive to see the world the way she does. Look at the wonder on her face while watching trees out the window of the train. I mean, why not let all that negativity go and just enjoy the ride. It is more fun that way. We went to a great event today for Gemma’s [...]

rain days. life at home with the twins.

So with a quick cringe at their outfits and state of hair, [...]

our new favorite park
