Tracee over at blogfabulous is really frustrated with her 2 year old for taking her cellphone and putting it in water twice. This is a great waste of money, I agree, Tracee. Now you have to buy a new phone. Kim Komando has great ideas for drying out your cell phone so that you don’t […]
Now that DH is back in town, I can honestly say that I was not made to be a single parent. I had a ball with my kids but I didn’t get as much done as I would have liked to have gotten done. So to all you single parents out there fighting to […]

Ever wonder why God gives us kids? I do every day when I try to teach my daughter something and she teaches me something back. I thought we were supposed to be the teachers? Last night, my daughter gently reminded me that routine is critical to happiness. We had stayed at a friend’s house too […]
