We had girls’ night last night. Always a good time:) Especially after yesterday. We had one of “those” days at our house. Fussy baby, time-out chair was used a couple of times, problems sharing, etc. You can picture it. And you probably also know how I feel. Satan always knows how to push our buttons.

Our Honeymoon Death Wish…
Jake and I have a theory: every good marriage begins with a near-death experience – okay, maybe not every good marriage but at least ours did! It happened just hours after we said “I do” and we will never forget it.
