July 18, 2019July 11, 2019 by YoderToterBlog

Five ways to celebrate a couples getaway (or your growing brood) at this Midwest resort This year the stars aligned and I was very pregnant at the same time Mr. Yoder’s work conference was at The French Lick Resort! This same place was a touchy subject since he texted me photos of the beautiful lobby way back in 2014 – How dare he enjoy luxurious digs when I was home trying to manage 3 children aged 4 and under?
