On days when you say, more than once, "I can't do this anymore" and consider putting an ad out there for an adult to come and take over because making one more decision does not sound like anything you are going to be doing this day, here is what I know is good: *Children (young… Continue reading Not Today

You Know You’re Loved When…..
Yesterday the littles and I were heading over to my Aunt's for some cousin time and to circle the wagons. As we traveled the familiar path, our Princess announced from the backseat, hairbrush in hand: "I just want my hair to look nice, and I'm worried that it doesn't." Yes. We are those people.
