Homeschooling Is Not Fun
One of the things that I really hated about moving was taking E out of her school. I was really impressed with the teachers and E loved it there–she loved the place, the teachers and the kids. On her last day, I was the one that got all teary when we were saying goodbye to more »
Chatty Cathy, Clip It
My kid doesn’t shut up. Ever. She even talks in her sleep sometimes. It should have been apparent what I was in for when she starting mimicking me saying her name VERY early on (months old).

Territorial crush and the purple nail polish
A couple of days ago at her request, I painted E’s fingernails. Purple. (She requested purple then pink then purple then pink.
