Words of Wisdom
Although I’ve been frantically preparing for my family to arrive and packing, cleaning, etc., all morning. I had to take a break to post a few words of wisdom from Gabriel.
Earlier this morning, Lily bonked her head and wanted milk (she was pawing at my shirt). I didn’t feel like nursing her, so I was [...]
Party for the Planet – A host’s perspective
