1,100 Mile Road Trip | Missouri Bound

A few weeks have passed since I’ve focused attention toward this little space of my world. My time has been occupied with my mama space, which truthfully, whether for good or for bad, seems to eclipse most others. I’ve been away setting my daughter up in a new state for […]
