P.T.C, a perplexing disease…
I must admit, I don’t believe my other two kids ever did this! when I walked into the livingroom the other day, I caught Zander peeing onto his pull-up that he had just stripped off of himself and threw on the floor. as if it was a urinal.

slowing down
staying home to raise my 3 young children has caused me to reach down deep within my self and re-discover things that I have ALWAYS yearned to do and create, but never had time for before. how funny that having children would create more “time” for myself? time to ponder and reflect…and imagine again. just…
