I have been MIA. The last blog post I wrote was thirty days ago. I had just celebrated my first blogversary, had a series of guest posts lined up, and was going on a short vacation with my daughter for her spring break. We went to Paris and then Courchevel for skiing. I had an [...]

Little Love Notes – (Not So) Wordless Wednesday
