Train Tracks… Are They Worth the Risk?
We’ve all probably seen it: a photograph of senior sitting on a suitcase in the middle of train tracks, a couple kissing across between the rails, or a young family walking down the tracks.

Erin’s Baby Shower
I had the great honor of being invited to my best friend’s baby shower this past weekend. I can be honest and admit that over the past seven years I’ve attended very few baby showers. With our struggle to have children they were just too difficult for me… they hurt too much. So rather than …
