A teenie, tiny little munchkin who is like a little typhoon running around the house. Hope, who is Amber’s puppy, is… Continue

Walk Day is September 19!





We are in total “walk mode”. Nikki and her best friends spent the weekend raising money by selling Sprite, Coke, Diet Pepsi, etc and the orange Max Life bracelets.
