Horse Magic 🐎 🐴 💫
Dear Readers and Friends, Animals can be some of the sweetest friends on Earth. I hope you know this to be true as well. It’s one of the reasons we are so excited to take Roman to the zoo tomorrow for his birthday! He is such an animal-lover. I love that feeling a mother gets…

“On Fire”

Lots of people love Autumn for so many reasons. I am one of those people. I know I’m not alone. Pumpkins, cozy blankets and sweaters, apple cider, crisp weather (Praise God! Where are all my fellow heat-intolerant folks?!) It seems that in the midst of the best month of the year in my opinion, October,…
