Hi Friends! If you follow my blog, then you know that I am fond of red hair. My husband and I have dark brown hair, so when our first son, Knox, was born we were surprised to see a head full of fire color hair. My second son, Bryce, also has red hair. After Knox […]
Hi Friends! I have been drowning in holiday, school, and life tasks this week. Whew! I am betting that a lot of you can relate.
