It’s time for our week in review!
Last week, I mentioned that I had written a story of kindness for The Mighty. Do you need a pick me up this weekend? If so, don’t read what I wrote, read all of the reponses. They give me chills! Everyone is sharing and thanking a stranger who helped them during a rough moment. You can read them on the article and this Scary Mommy thread. I promise you that the comments will restore your faith in humanity!
And now back to our regularly scheduled programming:
