It’s Just Around The Corner

Spring! I enjoy stupid puns. Every time someone says that spring is just around the corner, I think of the above picture!

When I left to go … Continue reading It’s Just Around The Corner →

“Old McDonald’s”

Another Weekend Recap

Some sort of bug hit our place last week. Poor Ella woke up with a very deep cough. Friday was the worst of it. She had the cough, a runny nose, and puffy eyes. Thankfully, she did not have a fever.

Pure Sassy!

We took Ella to get her "Two Year Old" Pictures last week. I'm glad that we wound up getting the entire digital package, because I don't know that I could just pick a few pictures!

I wish I had taken the … Continue reading The Last Year Has Been One-derful →

Mixed Emotions

If I had to describe today with emoji's, I'd need a lot of them! Exhaustion - Tuesdays are always difficult. I get very little sleep before having to come into work for the night.

Playing Doctor

When I was a kid, I remember having one of those Fisher Price Doctor kits. As a matter of fact, I think it remains a staple in every kid's toy box! I remember how cool it was that you could hear your heartbeat with the Stethoscope. Of course, you always had to give every one … Continue reading Playing Doctor →
