The kids went to their father’s house today at noon. They are with him for the whole weekend. I had a Facebook live to do for E-School, and then I was going to just chill out for a little bit. It was a cold and rainy morning here in CT, so it was the perfect […]

Continue Your Flow

May 19, 2021 by not your average mom Leave a Comment
