Just a short post with some pretty summer photos to let you know that I’m putting The Green Wife on pause.  I’ve already been a little MIA lately, so I thought I’d just put it officially on pause for a bit.  Right now I don’t know if it will be a week, a month or [...]

With summertime in full swing, I’m sure that many of you have road trips planned.  Whether you’re just headed a couple of hours down the road or driving cross-country, kiddos can quickly get restless in the back seat, right?  Right.  Well, I know mine can, anyway.  Especially Elliott.  Man, that kid just won’t sleep in [...]
