The Schwa Sound
Apparently I am NOT smarter than a third grader! Today I stumbled upon something that not only had I not heard of it before, but I thought it must have been a typo by the program creator. Jayden has been doing a grade 2 spelling program, but the words are too easy. I did not […]
New but “Destructed” Clothing
So my friend Shana and I were doing our Wednesday mall walk and we stumbled upon something that I just knew would drive my dad nuts! Since we did not have the kids with us this time, we wandered into Old Navy. Our intention was to check out the $7 Jingle Jammies. Due to the […]

Our First Snow
Today is December First. This morning Chloe came to me and said “I woke up in the middle of the night. I saw something white out my window. When I looked out it was snowing!”. Needless to say, I looked out my window and a blanket of snow was covering our slice of the world! […]
