Welcome to the Family

Welcome to the Family. This is not an April Fools' joke. It is real life. Five weeks ago, our lives changed dramatically by a split second decision of mine. A week later, our lives changed even more. Today, we're proud, happy, and tired parents of quite the circus. Dylan, RaeAnna, one rescue dog, a former street dog, and thirteen miracle puppies.

New Orleans Kid Friendly Itinerary

Becoming by Michelle Obama

Michelle Obama is funny, complex, intelligent, thoughtful, realistic, loyal, hopefully, and more. It’s so easy to water down a person to the image presented by the media; more often than not, she was left to be the woman standing behind the man in the white house. Up until Becoming, I knew very little about her life outside of the basics.
