In the summertime.
We’ve come to the point where afternoons mean splashing in cool water, bare feet run quickly across hot pavement and popsicles are a staple in our diets.

18 months. {a letter for Everly}

18 months
Where on Earth has time gone? We went (early) to Everly’s 18 month well check last week. After returning from our trip to Arkansas to visit my mother-in-law and step father-in-law, then coming home to pick up my best friend (the next day) from the airport…what I thought would be a disaster (usual) turned out [...]
