Everyone should have footwear that makes them feel like a rockstar. And friends who remind them how special they are. Seeing my children express their interests is the best part of parenting for me.

Handing things over to you
Despite Monday feeling colder than the thermometer claimed, after school I grabbed Jeter and headed to the golf course for a walk. It is my goal, you know, to give him the best life a dog has ever known and he needed the exercise.
