My daughters both received new, fabulous swimsuits this week, much to their delight. They’ve begged to wear them every day since, to which I’ve said, “no,” and to which my husband (when he gets home from work at night) has said, “alright.” When my girls asked this morning to wear them, I decided that the [...]
