Beeker’s Words

Parenting is the hardest job in the world in my opinion. I watch my sisters and friends struggle to make sure their children are happy, healthy and not playing in traffic.

Today I dusted, vacuumed, cleaned toilets, put away the laundry, set out lovely place settings for our dinner and I spent the day prepping dinner for my husband this evening. Porterhouse steaks, roasted asparagus & fingerling potatoes, glazed carrots, and key lime pie. I was surprised today when UPS delivered this:
