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. My excitement for travel remains undiminished. February 2018 is the month in which one of my sons becomes an “adult” … Continue reading A few brief thoughts early in a short month
