1st Day of School

It was Kora’s first day of preschool yesterday. She started preschool last January, but it was her first day for this year. She was beyond excited to go. Unfortunately she was teary when I picked her up because she wanted to paint on the easel but it was a short day so she didn’t get [...]

Someone Please Steal My Idea

Why I Can’t Cross Things Off My To-Do List or Blogging Takes Work

Writing

Who says as a stay-at-home mom I don’t work? Well, no one directly says that to me, but that’s not the point. The point is this blogging business is a lot of work. First, it started off as a venue to record cute stories, pictures, and videos of the kids. A place to perserve memories. [...]
