It is such a treat to be over at Pruning Princesses today sharing a little about raising children. I hope you’ll hop over and visit me there. You’ll love Laura’s place.
While you hop over I’m going to continue to count my blessings with Ann at Holy Experience as I remember 1000 gifts in the Joy Dare. Somedays all you can do is count! Ever been there?
