Spring Ready With Madison – Nordstrom Addition
Madison recently celebrated her 11th birthday and in order to bribe her to ride along with me to my post-op Lasik appointment, I told her I’d let her have a mini shopping spree at Nordstrom for her birthday. It all sounded like a great idea until we almost reached the mall (over an hour away)…
