Okay, I know it sounds a little crazy. But I love both-- watermelons and narwhals. Not necessarily together, mind you. Similarly to the pineapple, I have become enamored with practically anything featuring the sweet fruit and magical mammal. Most people hopped on the unicorn ...read more
April showers bring May flowers... I'm pretty sure I've used that line in the last three of four blog posts I've written. Cliched, yes. Still, the expression most definitely applies to recent conditions. It's been dreary, drizzly, and very wet around here. We're ready for warmer, ...read more

Now that the weather has cooled down, it can be a bit more difficult to get the kiddos dressed in the morning. While my daughter only wants to put on what she deems pretty, my son won't consider anything that's not comfortable. Both of those asks can be a bit tough for us moms in ...read more
