For me, January, February, and March are the toughest months of the year. The holidays are over. Sunshine is scarce; the days are short. It’s cold. Stinkin’ cold. So stinkin’ cold that a two-year-old might walk outside and promptly say, “It really cold. My teef (teeth) hurt.” On top of all that, it’s flu season. We […]

Don’t Get the Puppy
{Fellow pet owners, please don’t hate me! I’m not suggesting we should give up our family pets. We truly love our Sofi dog; there’s no need to feel sorry for her as your read this.

For animal-loving tots, the San Diego Zoo is a must-see. It’s famous. It’s huge. […]

100 Days of Crying–Colic
I’ve read that colic is sometimes called “100 days of crying.” We just passed the 100 day mark with our little baby, and we have definitely not had 100 days of crying. Our sweet baby has been calm and happy from the beginning. In fact, I think it’s now safe to say that she’s what […]
