Recovery Day

Ali is still at Gramamma and Pop’s, and Chris is at work. And I am being a completely lazy bum. Just thought you’d like to know. I’m playing on the computer and getting caught up on everyone’s blogs. I should be working if I’m okay enough to play on the computer, but then I wouldn’t […]

My Thoughts as the Day Continued. . .

Blueberry Lessons in Mommyhood

There are so many lessons that you learn as a parent. It seems like a new one every day. “I’ll never try THAT again”, or “wow, that works really well!!”. Yesterday’s lesson: even if a child can eat something without making a mess while being watched by Mommy, the same may not be true if […]
