This weekend I returned to our apartment complex with Julius after a quick morning trip to the store to pick up milk. As we pulled in, we noticed a small boy walking down the middle of the street. And by small I mean MAYBE 18 months. It was such a bizare sight, it seemed impossible. [...]

I am breaking all the rules again.
Throw all the adages my way…from “the cobblers kids” to “do as I say.” I’ve been oh so remiss with my pinkplusorminus as I focus so much time and energy on building blogs and social media strategies for others.
