Why Our Kids Share a Room
a blog for modern families & moms seeking camaraderie in these fleeting, hectic years
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
Robert Frost
