Keep Showing Up-Pour Your Heart Out

Entitled Little Princess Monsters
One of the things my daughters and I love to do is watch Say Yes to the Dress! We had the grand opportunity to veg out and watch a couple of episodes over the weekend. Most of the time, it is just fun and I only have a few “teachable moments”. They have heard…
