Ok, I guess my husband isn’t that old but he is turning 30 this Friday and that is quite a milestone.  I don’t know, there’s just something about leaving the 20’s decade behind.  He is being a good sport about it but I know it is a little upsetting for him.

How many days until Christmas?  I bet if you have kids, especially school aged, you could tell me without even looking at the calendar.  This is actually the first year that I finished most of my shopping before Thanksgiving!

My daughter cracks me up. She fell down and got carpet-burn on her chin (thats not the funny part.) I was getting some food out of the fridge and got out a piece of cheese for her because she loves that snack. I handed it to her and told her that it […]

It’s that time of year again. Sniffles, coughs, runny noses, fevers, and CRANKY kids. As much as I love the changing of the seasons, I despise the allergies and sicknesses that go with it. According to Kids Health colds are the number one reason that kids stay home from school. And don’t […]
