Together, we’ll take a look at the many sacrifices we sometimes have to make as moms, professionals, and as human beings. We’ll talk about raising littles with big personalities, crime shows & celebrity autobiographies, doing more things as a family for summer vacation, and more. Finally, Emily shares her story about the time she chose other kids over her own and the reasons why she did it.
