Hi! How's your week going so far? I burned the back of my neck walking to pick up my youngest kiddo from school today (I had long hair for most of the past decade and although it's been shorter for almost two years now, apparently I still forget to sunscreen back there until the first … Continue reading Mel’s Monday Musings: April 22, 2019
