This year I just couldn’t do our traditional birthday party at home. Maybe because this year isn’t a traditional year; with my husband gone, I knew I couldn’t handle a house full of four year olds running around. I didn’t want to clean it just to re-clean it again. As most of you know, I […]

Shoot and Share Contest 2018: The Roundup on Getting into the Top 100
