It’s hard for me to wrap my head around this logistic nightmare, but fortunately for me, I don’t have to because of our logistics guru goddess, Emma. If it weren’t for her, I would probably cry 🙂
UPDATE – Someone asked me how much coffee I drank. The answer, none. I don’t drink caffeine. I figure if my body can’t do it “el natural” I probably shouldn’t be doing it.
