March 18, 2017 by not your average mom 1 Comment

I almost pulled a classic Susie move a couple days ago. But I caught myself. Thank God. You may have read that I joined the 40 Bags in 40 Days Challenge for Lent. I’m still on track with that. (Woo hoo!) You may have also read the post I wrote last summer where I declared the […]
