2017 Holiday Season has commenced. Who wants to go to the mall and go shopping!!!!!????? LITERALLY NO ONE! The mall is a horrible place to be this holiday season particularly if you have a bunch of littles with you. They cry, they run away, they ask you to take them to the pretzel place, they lick the floor. Don't do that to yourself. Plus these gifts are for YOU. Maybe you'll … [Read more...] about 2017 Holiday Gift Guide

It Gets Better
