My new Instagram friend and collaborator Astrid Walsh and I have a little exchange thing going on. She’s adopted two of my girls, who now live in Cork, Ireland and I just welcomed her two ladies. We’re going to give them a bit of an adventure and hope we-the moms-learn more about each other this […]
