Eat. Decorate. Celebrate.
Anybody else stay up late last night to watch the end of the game? Since we took an extra long half time to put the kids to bed, we were actually kind of happy about the power outage…despite what that extra rest did for the 49ers. It was definitely a nail biter for us, but […]

June may not be here quite yet, but to the girls in this house, Father’s Day is a BIG deal. The Husband’s birthday is so close to Father’s Day, that we often celebrate both at the same time. Some years I go all out, like when the Husband turned 30, and when we had a […]
Most of you may know that tomorrow is the 108th anniversary of Dr. Seuss’ birth.
