Keeping Children Safe

My Grandpa died this week. It should be a sad time and maybe it would be for most people BUT my Grandpa was a pedophile. If you’ve known me for awhile or, even crazier, are apart of our family and had no idea – You wouldn’t be the only one. ‘KEEP THE SECRET’ – This […]

What Have We Learned?

Duluth – The Willards Have arrived!!!

Watch yourselves Duluthians (I have NO idea if this is accurate, haha) the Willards are in town and we are looking to shake things up!!! By shake things up, I mean, probably the exact opposite…. Unless shaking it up means working and going to bed at a reasonable hour – then we are down with […]
