Today I had the pleasure of hosting a play date with a very good friend of mine and her two boys, 2 and 3 months. L and J are so cute! Punky and Bay have become infatuated with babies so they were happy to have J over to snuggle. And having her friend over was … Continue reading Mom Friends
Who Needs the Beach?
What do you think of when you hear the word, "beach"? Vacation? Sand? Breeze? Waves? You want to know what I hear? Sand on everything. Crabs. Sharks. Wind burn. Sun burn. "Mom, I have to potty!!"
