Sam the Anti-Preemie: Blackberry face

Last week, I took a week off from blogging and my life and kidnapped my 6.5 year old and took her on a trip to Disneyland.  We had been talking about this trip for almost a year.  She really wanted to go, and we had promised Rosa (our nanny's daughter and my defacto daughter) that we would take her … [Read more...] about The Therapy Fund | Vol. 11
