Perfect Zoo Walk

Many members of our family joined us at the Detroit Zoo yesterday to Walk for Miracles. It was an early day, but the weather was perfect! Registration for the event started at 7:30am.

This means there is a whole lot of "I want it NOW!" and "No!" That being said, bedtime, which used to … Continue reading The Great Stall Tactic →

When Sam is getting ready for work she will often listen to her Disney Pandora channel. When a song comes on, she will ask, "What's … Continue reading “Let It Go!” →
