I think if we truly stopped and realized that everything from the most mundane to … Continue reading Gratitude is hard, but God makes it easy.
The nap that (almost) broke me.
This nap was going to be different. I could feel it. White noise on, sleep sack on, paci in and about 4 more placed around the crib, and sweet, tired eyes in full effect.
