Lessons in Motherhood

After traveling with two kids for the weekend, I’ve had an “ah ha” moment that’s going to make me millions. Ok. Maybe not, but it is genius.
So, here’s the thing about kids…they put their mouths on everything. All too many times I find myself saying…”What are you thinking?!?!?! Don’t put your [...]
