Multitude Mondays - Week Sixteen

I am slowly feeling like I am getting on top of things around here. You should see my organizational binder. It's a little crazy, but when I am organized, life seems to run smoother, you know. So much to share, including Emily's first day at Mother's Day Out. I will tell more about that later, but she couldn't have had a more wonderful time. They said she is a natural, which is not surprising because I loved school (and still do... I wish I could be a professional student) more than most people.

Multitude Mondays on an actual Monday? CRAZY!
