It makes me laugh to think that in a house full of fancy toys & play sets, it is always the simplest things that hold on to our children’s attention the most. Our daughter loves to paint & draw, so we got her an easel. She prefers to draw at the kitchen counter. She loves building […]
There are some things in parenthood that do not make sense to me. The most recent in a long line of things that puzzle me is this, you have all heard me cry & whine over what a difficult eater our daughter is, then how do you explain this… If the daily battle with my […]
