I’ve decided to seek out solace in chocolate. I only have two and half days until the hubster comes home from being abroad for training for over a month, and I’m using chocolate as the balm that keeps me from cracking. I’m so grateful to be fortunate enough to have him coming home when so ...

Well, the hubster is still abroad and I gotta be honest – it’s really wearing on me. We have three weeks down and one left to go, but I was done about four days ago. I am seriously ready for him to be home. Add to that the fact that the kiddo spent Spring break ...
