So…it’s been a while since I posted, not that I’m the only one (ahem). But Mother’s Day just passed, and I thought it was time for another depressing update on my barren womb. Back in October I had just started fertility treatment and had been […]
This month we decided to talk about what, well, everyone is talking about. The US presidential election! All the princesses weigh in on what this election means to them and how they are managing to stay sane in an insane world. Well hi there, […]
It’s been over five months since I last posted here. If you asked me what I’ve been up to in that time I could tell you a lot of things. I took a Mediterranean cruise and got to show my favorite travel destination, Italy, to […]
