Beware little one, you have an auntie that loves you like crazy already!

If you came home from work on a regular ol’ Monday and saw this … what would you do? That’s right … scream your little heart out and thank God 100 times over for blessing you with the most incredible husband! Dominic is always doing special things for me, but this tops it all! With […]
