By My Littlest Angel Bon-Bon Day turned into a two-week tour. Menial tasks went MIA for a few days, then turned into seven days and then seven days times two. Seventh Heaven? I skipped exercise and cooking. I slept in and ate sweets. What seemed impossible and...
Bon Bon Day What does it take to give mom a day off? Say a day to eat bon bons and wear a dressing gown and feathery high heels. That’s a dream day my mom romanticized while I was growing up. I’m in. And here’s another million-dollar question, to...
