Mom Thoughts

In a few weeks, our family will hit a major milestone. Both kids will go to camp for the first time.

And don't suggest toast, why, that's downright offensive as they snarl their lips in disgust. Chatterbox was upset because Soccerboy ate the star shaped doughnut covered in pink icing and sprinkles yesterday after she had claimed it. He didn't k… Continue

My dog is home! A sweet lady found Rascal and took her in. Mrs. Davenport was excited to reunite us. Rascal was excited too. When I picked her up, she was really upset.
