Wednesday’s Child: Paige & Colton

My hope is that this can broaden exposure for the children highlighted, but also serve as a reminder that these children represent thousands of children currently in the foster-care system.

September 25, 2017

This post was sponsored by   VSP® Vision Care I've talked a lot about how self-care is elusive to me . . . how I struggle with taking the time to take care of my own needs.
