after a day the tidy bowl man claimed for his own… suffice it to say I had to order replacement parts for Charley’s BROKEN crib… etc…etc… and the list goes on, I headed out for a date with myself this evening. I am THE BEST DATE EVER. I took myself to get a wax, eat […]
My conversation with Eva the other day while driving home. Eva: “Mommy, if I eat a lot, does it mean I’ll grow up to be a adult?”Me: “Um, yes honey. If you eat good food, you’ll grow up healthy and strong.”Eva: “I don’t want to eat any more food. I’ll just drink water so I […]
