It happened on the day that everyone needed everything. My babies woke up crying before 6:00 a.m. The attitudes, the crying, the struggle with breastfeeding, my baby awake while my toddler slept and vice versa. Needs. And then needs....
Support The Troops, Support Their Families.
“Thank you for your service.”
“I support the military.”
Those phrases have become more common over the years. When I met and married my husband, no one approached a service member in uniform and uttered those...
Date night is not my favorite term. In fact, it is a term that grates on my nerves a bit. Some people don’t like “moist” or “panties”. I will take either over “date night”.
