January 2025 Most Anticipated
Another year is almost upon us! 2024 was chaos and did not go the way we planned at all. Having twins this year was not originally on my bingo card, but they’ve been a blessing all the same and the perfect addition to our family. Needless to say, the year went by in a flash….
