I'm going to start doing #TBT posts on here to play catch-up since there was a long block of time when I didn't post at all.
This was taken sometime this past spring since my hair is multicolored (it's currently a bright red). Fun story - I attempted to dye my hair a deep purple but it didn't pan out. It turned out to be a haphazard multicolor of purple, pink,

To Leash or To Not Leash? That is the question.
I'll admit it - BC (Before Children), I was vehemently against putting kids on a leash. I couldn't understand why parents felt the need to do that.

You see, two years ago, I had illusions of grandeur that every expectant mother has.
"Oh, my baby is going to have this!"
"Oh, my baby is going to have that!"
"I'm definitely giving my baby all organic, all the time!"
"I'm introducing nothing but fruits and veggies!"
"My baby will NEVER have McDonald's!"
