First of all, I should very clearly define this upcoming road trip + week-long fishing experience as MY version of camping. David continues to correct me: "We are GLAMPING, Honey.

Where Wellness, Finances & Family Meet {A New Journey}
Since I left my full time position as practice manager at Baby+Co Birth Center, my husband and family have been encouraging me to write more.
