I am still so happy for you that you were able to do this - I KNOW how much it means that you are able to be home and be there even more for the kids and B. And I think one of the benefits that you touched on that doesn't get talked about as much is just the pure fact that you are in a better state overall - not rushing, able to get things done so that you are really able to enjoy the time you guys do have together!a little bit of emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08944620326344142962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8683468931054211240.post-7395370098876689722018-11-14T11:14:41.918-05:002018-11-14T11:14:41.918-05:00Hey Lindsay!
