My Week of Interviews – And Sharing One with You!

Mother’s Day was certainly unique this year due of the COVID-19 pandemic. For me, the week leading up to Mother’s Day was interesting as it was full of video interviews and preparations for various opportunities to share my story.

Behold! I Stand At The Door… and Ring the Doorbell.

It’s fun to mess with your kids! In love, of course! Since moving to a different house a few months ago our family has repeated a new trick that has yet to get old.
