I had started drafting this post earlier in the week while still in North Carolina with Kelsey’s family, but briefly put a pin in it so I could make sure I was spending my waking moments – the ones where I wasn’t working remotely, anyway – giving her two children the time, love and attention […]
Hello from North Carolina, everyone! I’m in town for the next few days after arriving this past Saturday afternoon to help out with childcare for my two favorite little bursts of energy, creativity and curiosity – and what a fun-filled weekend we had together!
