Last week was my 2 year old son’s first day of a mother’s day out program.  Since he was born, he’s been home with me, or with his grandparents.  But he’s about to turn 3 soon, so I figured it was time for him to get out of the house for just 2 days a

I know that summer is slowly coming to an end, but I wanted to share this article.  It’s a good one to save and revisit next year. For the past few summers, I have searched to find safe mosquito/bug repellant to use on my children.  My younger one must have a bulls-eye on her back,

Earlier this week I was getting in the drive thru line at Chick-Fil-A.  There was another car pulled over to the side of the drive thru, but not actually in the drive thru line. So I went ahead and got in line with my car. When I did so, that car that was pulled over
