For all members of the family. (Cough cough .. that means you too momma.) If baby isn’t sleeping, mommy isn’t sleeping. But sometimes, […]
Fourth of July Outfits for the Family
It’s that time of year again! Time to break out the Ericksen colors! If you don’t know what Ericksen colors are, you may not have been here last year. Being Air Force “brats”, my girls have always seen the Red, White, and Blue flying high. Nora just assumed that The American Flag was our flag. […]
