Friday Felecities

Aidan’s smile My husband talks with his hands. Food Faces New Babies Thinking Dad is the coolest guy in the world

I’m so tired….

I’m so tired I got all the way out the car before I realized Zoe was still inside. I’m fairly certain that will be the first thing my daughter says to her teacher today… “Mommy forgot Baby Zoe this morning!” I think I hear DHR at the door.

Raising Boys

Boys never cease to amaze me. I’m sure you’ve gotten that forwarded email, at least once, that is supposedly from an anonymous mother in Austin, Texas. It’s a list of things she has learned from raising her boys. I’ll list my favorites from her list… When you hear the toilet flush and the words “uh [...]
