Finally back in the PDX.FM studios, Todd and Laura returned with Mansfield Moments from Mexico and a lively debate about Allergies. It appears most countries outside of the US have it right, and America has it completely wrong! Plus, you should hear what is going on right now at Milagros Boutique in Portland.

What a day, babysitter cancels, fight ensues with husband, and diarrhea takes over my little guy and grandma steps in to help…

Sometimes, support and trust come from the places you least expect them…an air-conditioned office (it was 100ish degrees in Portland today), a frantic grandma (who usually is overscheduled)  and a supportive village (husband, business partner, intern, etc…). 

What all of this made me realize is that we do really need a village to raise our children and that often times that village is right in front of us if we just ask… and trust. 

I have decided to live my life based on two mottos “it is all perfect” and “this too shall pass.”  We will see how it works out.

In the end, the day came to a close in a relaxed manner with the stress behind us… for now.

Love, Laura
