Last weekend was my sweet little cow’s (husband) first Father’s Day. Nugget and I discussed the perfect gift and decided a weekend away would be just the ticket. An all day road trip destination wasn’t an option … with a baby it’s…
When my maternity leaved ended I couldn’t imagine being separated from Nugget for more than a few hours. I reluctantly returned to my 8-5 grind for two weeks … and found it wasn’t nearly as painful as I imagined it would be. For our family…
