Adoption and Parenting Reads of the Week
Hello!
This is such a fun week for little ones, and a fun week for anyone who loves little ones. The joy of preparing costumes, trick or treating, the unfathomable candy indulgence. We hope it’s an enjoyable week for you, too!
We’re popping in to share some of our favorite reads of the week. And now we’re off to enjoy this gorgeous fall weather. Take care of yourself this weekend, and share a meaningful moment with someone you love.
We’ll see you next week!
