Future Daughter in Laws, You are a terrifying reality.

I’ve blogged before about resolutions (http://wp.me/p1BrD5-2T), it’s the right thing to do as a final post for the year, yes?! A little too off target this year, I’d say. It’s my 2013 wrap up blog, so let’s have some fun with … Continue reading
