When you’re driving your father-in-law to his birthday dinner and the visor isn’t long enough but the sun bothers his eyes… and you happen to also be a professional driver.

Is it any wonder why I’m madly in love with this man?

I wanted Mami to have some “comfort” this Mother’s Day. She loves her new, super soft blankie. In the care basket along with the blanket, were some steaming eye masks, Vanicream body cream, a pair of super soft socks, and some chapstick. I love you Mami! 💞
