Tweet Part of Perfect Moment Mondays… You know what’s amazing? No matter how we see ourselves, our children only see what they want to believe about us.

Tweet When you’re all of four-years-old, there is no such thing as too early to rise and shine. And, why is it that Mom and Dad get to sleep together when in my room all alone I’m expected to supine? So, you sneak into our room in the middle of the night, when you know [...]
