Life Is Good #97
My little babies turned 5 in March! I can’t believe how fast time is flying by.

Battlefield: Dinner
Oh yes, you know that dinner is a daily battle. I even wrote about the Sh*t I Say at the Dinner Table, a humorous way to look at the struggles we as parents go thru at mealtime. All giggling aside, it’s a battlefield out there. So Thursday night was a battle of a different kind.… Continue reading Battlefield: Dinner
