It’s Okay If You Didn’t Do Anything For Your Kids On Valentine’s Day. (And It’s Also Okay If You Did).

February 14, 2017 by not your average mom 1 Comment

When I was a kid (and actually all the way up until I had kids of my own) my grandma sent me a card for Valentine’s Day. Her cards always had some sort of treat taped inside, like a quarter or one stick of Wrigley’s gum in the foil wrapper, as well as a little […]
