The more I look at her tiny little face, the more grateful I am that I get to kiss it. It just breaks my heart that so many out there won’t be able to kiss their children anymore. I can’t even think of the words to express my feelings, but I know they are shared…
Juniper is going to be turning 4 this weekend, and she is SO EXCITED. She has been making practice cakes from play dough for the past few weeks, and telling me all about the presents she is going to get. One day she started opening pretend letters from all of her friends telling her that…
