Happy Sunday night, friends! I’m watching all the skinny actresses at the Academy Awards – while I’m thoroughly enjoying a sub from Subway and a Dairy Queen caramel sundae. #SorryNotSorry Seriously, these actresses must be TINY in person. If they look ultra skinny on TV, I can’t even imagine seeing…
My little boy is a teenager! Oh be still this momma’s heart. How in the world did that happen? Of course I know how this happened. This is life. These are the years that fly by. And it is both exciting and terrifying at the same time. The clock continues…
