Brooke Kemp: Smack Dab in the Middle of the Loony Bin
I love how whenever I sit down on the couch at least one or two of the kids magically come out of the woodwork to come snuggle with me, like little magnets! They know it’s one of my favorite things to do–to be surrounded and snuggled by my family.
