This is Rosa, the little pink owl that has been attached to my daughter’s side for two years now. Rosa was the center of my daughter’s birthday party this year. I wasn’t sure how we would pull off a cute party with me being only three weeks post C-section (Thank goodness my angel mom was […]
We sisters LOVE the TLC show Four Weddings (and boy, did we binge-watch it before Madison’s wedding!).
