My Amazing Teen – Go Big or Go Home

October 23, 2016 by Alison Leave a Comment

What Makes Your Family Great?

November 20, 2015 by Alison 24 Comments

Family. We all know what that word means by definition, but at the same time it can mean something different for everyone. Have you ever thought about how many different types of families there are?
