My husband Mark and I live in the southeast U.S. with our lovely daughters, Amelia and Florence. We also share our lives with a lab(ish) goofball of a dog named Shelby.
When we woke up on Saturday morning it was snowing! Amelia thought it was so special – she really enjoyed watching it fall! It didn’t last long, but it was beautiful while it lasted. Later in the morning, Mark stayed with Amelia while I ran out to do some errands and have some “mommy time”. [...]

Grandma and Grandpa came over to watch the game with us. While I was getting Amelia dressed before the game, she insisted [...]
