We have had a lot of snowy days lately. Unlike my big kids, usually my youngest stays in the house. She has a circulatory system that causes her to quickly prioritize her blood-flow away from her limbs, and learned the
Nice Shoes
Every girl knows that a great pair of RED pumps makes the world a happier place. You’ve just got to practice walking in them.

I have come down with a nasty virus that has left me with laryngitis. I can’t speak. I can barely squeak. My poor husband needed to know that it was bedtime for the kids so, knowing that my voice is
Maverick
This little independent soul cracks me up. Honestly, I think he may be the funniest person I have ever met – or at least a close second to his daddy. He dresses like this on a regular basis; lots of
