Bad Day

Spring Break

Champagne Wishes and Cavier Dreams

Will eating ice cream at DisneyWorld. That cone cost how much?! Dairy Queen has opened in town and even though it’s still in the 30s outside, us hearty midwesterners are running to line up. I treated the kids recently and had an interesting discussion with Will. He wanted a Blizzard, which costs $3.19 for a [Read More]

Cheese, Please

By

Last night at the dinner table Sydney, 4, said, “I’m not going to eat that cheese because it has boogers on it.” Well! I’m so proud. She listened to and followed all my motherly advice about not eating cheese with boogers on it!
