A Minor Postponement

Life with kids is always a bit unpredictable. With 6 that’s a bit of an understatement when it comes to illness. As you know I had planned a Back-to-School Photo tips post for today, but due to a little guy being quite ill all morning I have had to postpone that one until next Wednesday. [...]
