Two posts in two days!  I know!  Can’t believe either! 🙂 As I was looking through some old photos the other day, I came across one of my doodlebug playing soccer her first year.  Didn’t know at the time how she’d do or if she would even stick with it.  Here we are 6 years […]

Speaking of time, I spent all day last Friday watching an online workshop with Justin Seeley via […]
