Everyday, you bike with dad and Jules for school drop-off. Dad always finds you asleep in the trailer. You clearly love it even when it’s cold out!

August 12, 2013 – 10:06 am

I’m starting a new series. Not like I had a series of anything in the past, unless you count my “Hot Tips” (you can find them here, here, here, here, here and here.
