Graham. My long & lean, strong willed, three & a half year old boy. The one who started this Mommy journey for me. The one who introduced me to a world I never knew. He is my source of strength. He’s the one who makes me laugh, run, skip, fight swords, dance for rain, jump…

Tales from Hwy 127 Yard Sale
We did it! The three of us went on the big hunt for treasures. Shopped, ate, talked, snacked, slept (the twins) all while we found & missed some treasures. All in all we had a great time. I was glad just to be there, and surprisingly found some great pieces. Enough to keep me busy…
