A Simple, Sweet Father’s Day Gift
I’ve been meaning to blog about one of the things we do for Father’s Day for a couple of years now, which is just evidence that Father’s Day always sneaks up on me. For the past two years, since the Bit was on the verge of being two, I’ve had her paint a little 4×4 […]
