Chrissy has been a big fan of the Laura Numeroff books for a long time. When she was still in college to become a teacher, I gave her a copy of “If You Give A Mouse A Cookie” for Valentine’s Day. Since then, Numeroff has penned many similar books like “If You Give A Pig A Pancake” and “If You...

Toddlers can’t always pronounce words that they use frequently, so they go with nicknames instead. In our house, “Grandma” has always been “Ooma”, at least until they can say the right word. Aiden said “Ooma” for the longest time, and now Gavin calls her “Ooma” as well. ...

We usually go to the orchard every year during their Pumpkin Festival. Last year was the first time that we...

Aiden has started playing t-ball again. He liked playing t-ball so much in the summer that we decided to sign him up for Fall Ball. This is pretty much the same as regular t-ball, except the games will go from late August until early October. It’s going to start getting dark earlier soon, so they want to get as much...

Chrissy had a work seminar scheduled for the last day of our vacation, which left me at home alone with the kids for the day.

I don’t believe that vacation days should be spent vacuuming and doing laundry, so I decided that...
