Just incase you aren’t thrilled with your current options for POTUS, Lil has decided to throw her name in the hat 😉
She’s officially double digits, so she’s got a decade of experience doing life… and a youthful energy that is unmatched in the race. As the youngest of three siblings, Lil’s negotiating tactics are bar-none and she knows how to get what she wants. This gal is a total firecracker and I’m happy to endorse her candidacy.

Happy Birthday Lil!! And Happy (almost) Birthday America! 🇺🇸 🧨 🦅🎈🎇🎉🇺🇸

It’s raining today. So here’s to springtime, and rain… and rainbows; and growing and nurturing all the things we love most.

Today, I’m throwing it back to one of my favorite backdrops. I’ve done soooo many baby shower setups, but this mama’s smile just warms my heart.

We can’t have a rainbow, without the rain. Keep your heads up, lovies! 🌧️ ⛅️ ☀️ 🌈
