I rarely post personal pics of the kids. To be honest, when I started blogging in 2007 I was completely clueless about privacy settings (or even blogging itself really) and as a result my personal information has been forever exposed. Not that I wouldn’t welcome a blog reader stopping by at my house to bring me cupcakes, because I really do love cupcakes.

But when I had … continue reading

My daughters are 10 and 12, and let’s be honest… there’s not a great supply of clean, wholesome, non-celebrity infused reading material for them. We’ve have found one magazine, however, that both of my girls enjoy thoroughly and Mom and Dad approve of!

If you could see into my kitchen right now, you would see a sink with a few dirty dishes in it, a counter-top half-covered with clutter, a crumb-covered kitchen table (we just had snack a few minutes ago), and a refrigerator smothered with artwork.
