Girl Where’ve You Been?

(That's me in that photo in my new business attire! ... JK. But it's the most hilarious stock photo I could find related to "working" and I just can't help but laugh thinking about people ACTUALLY shaking hands like that...)

The playroom is almost always never clean or organized. Sometimes it brings me stress to see the chaos. But I physically don't have the time...
