There's something really wonderful about seeing a dear friend become a Momma. I love being a Momma. It's my favorite job. And so, I particularly love appreciating the skills of other kick butt mommas. Seeing Emily love on Miss Amelia literally rocks my world.

She called to check where I was parked & after chatting we decided it would be easiest to share my location via pin. Frank called a few minutes later. They were no where Eagle Point Park in Clinton...as they were over
