Why I Refuse To Join A Moms' Group by Danielle via Romper "Sure, my friends without kids may have a difficult time completely understanding what life is like with a child, but I value their friendships now more than ever.

Looking back on this week's special memories captured on Instagram... Trying on outfits for our 80's prom tomorrow night. #shirtlessmark@markhowerton @chadmarkley Fun night celebrating this girl.
