Before My Very Eyes
Do you ever feel like you can literally see your kids growing? I do. Mazzy started Pre-K last week. It got off to a bit of a rough start, due to the new schedule limiting their nap time to one hour per day. That’s one hour TOTAL, from the time they start to get out [...]
First Day of Pre-K
She didn’t mind wearing the uniform.
Backyard Camping
Mazzy has been asking to have S’mores, so last Saturday night we decided to have a little campfire in the backyard so that we could fulfill her wish. And then somehow, a campfire in the backyard turned into setting up the tent & sleeping outside. Do I need to remind anyone that we live in [...]
Make it Work
And this is where I ramble about random thoughts running ’round my brain. (How’d you like that lil’ bit of alliteration?) Are you as excited as I am that Project Runway is back?

[...]

Taking Control
Lately, things have been really hard, financially-speaking. It seems like we never have quite enough money, and it’s getting worse each month. I’m really not good with managing money, and I’m the one in charge of the bills around here. There are a few reasons for this and ultimately it’s less stressful for me to [...]
