Living With Lularoe
I live with a bunch of girls. Ahem. That's not very polite, I guess. More accurately, I live with a lovely wife and our two beautiful daughters, ages 6 and 3. And two female black labs (sisters, age 9). And then there's my son (age 4), and me. We're the two dudes living in the …
