I think it is finally safe to say. I am not a superstitious woman.I’m not.really. but I will not say it.I am sure it’s safe.but I still won’t say it. I will say, however, that we have gone a whole day without anyone in our household tossing their cookies.and I gotta tell ya, it is…

okay, we’re going to be taking a little break from the latest “what’s the grossest thing I can write about today?” trend in my blog. I sat on my computer this evening, looking through photos and had to just slap myself right upside the head.I realized that I never told you all about my super…

it hit me at 5 o’clock this morning. the disease that plagued my entire family the past 2 weeks settled it’s nasty self in me. I tossed and turned all Saturday night, until 5am, when I jumped from my bed like there was a spring under my butt.I ran into the bathroom and threw my…

you know that cute little thing kids do when they have loose teeth?blowing air through their pearly whites like they’re tiny little doors .that was Zoe’s daily routine for the past couple months. then, last Thursday, her top right tooth finally fell out.but she didn’t miss a beat.she came up with a new little number,…
