Guilty Pleasures

    0

    As an almost 50-year-old mother of two teenagers, I can have a few guilty pleasures. Unfortunately, it has taken me nearly 13 years to give myself permission for this. I think “full acceptance” came during the pandemic.

    So, that being said, here are some of my guilty pleasures, and I would LOVE to know what yours are. And if you don’t have any, what are you waiting for? Trust me – don’t wait.
