iPhone Mommy
I admit it…I spend WaY ToO MuCh time on my phone. It is a habit I have been saying I am going to stop for a long time, but have yet to accomplish. It would be bad enough if I was taking time away from my kids by just talking on the phone, but weContinue reading “iPhone Mommy”
Don’t Post Until You Check Snopes!

I Expect That from WHO?
Recently, we have been working with my daughter on trying to get her to stop sucking her thumb. She is using a thumb guard that is really helping, but like any bad habit, it has been hard for her. The other day I told Robynn that my worst habit is eating late at night. ItContinue reading “I Expect That from WHO?”
Set Up to Fail
This week my son and I started planting our seeds indoors so that when the weather warms up they will be strong enough to be transplanted outside.
