TTC After a Loss 6 Months+

Bi-Weekly Wine and Cheese Party

Hey ladies!  How is April going for everyone? This is our bi-monthly check in, condensed version. I offered to take the check-in over for Rawr, so here it goes! Rawr -we're sad to see you go and hope that you pop in to say hello once in awhile! 

Feel free to let us know how life is, you can b!tch, you can moan, you can complain, you can brag, you can cry, whatever you want. I wanted to start this off with a bang, so please enjoy some wine on fire and cheese!
