I am not someone who has a natural rapport with kids. I've never known what to do with them and my interactions always feel forced and awkward. When I found out I was pregnant with our first baby, it...
I know what you're thinking before you even start reading this. BAH HUMBUG! Now, before you get your Christmas stockings all in a bind, hear me out! Let's take it back to when I was a child and I...
