VIDEO: Creativity on her own
I am super happy to have Jordan back after spending a week with her Poppy. I’ve missed her a ton. Coolest part was having her run into the house this afternoon yelling for me. She gave me the most awesome hugs and snuggles. I feel like a very lucky Mom to be so loved. Along…

The outdoor swimming season isn’t over for us! To add to the fun… Jordan was in a show off mode yesterday. First, she was all about grooving and dancing to the music at the pool last night. It was almost totally empty now that the school year has started so she had all kinds of…

Our house is full of friends and happiness. It’s March Madness… For years, we’d go to my brother-in-law’s house in St. Louis to watch many screens, laugh and enjoy our awesome friends.
