This week June Diane Raphael shares about her childhood fear of dogs, a pet rabbit named Scooter, her beautiful journey toward adopting Meatball, and the wonderful grandpa-looking-through-coupons energy this dog has brought into her life. Hearing her authentically talk about parenting, family, feeling overwhelmed, The Jane Club and more, will not only make you laugh your buns off, but it will also give you the warm fuzzies your heart craves. And yes, there is nose wiping with socks instead of tissues because as moms, we do what we have to do.
