The day is spent and so am I

Just a little note to tell you that I am officially worn out. This is the last week before school starts and I am running on fumes. Thus, I probably won’t be blogging much. I probably will once school is up and running and I have my life purring along.… Read More

Potty time

Pardon me for being a bit absentee this week but we’ve been potty training over the last few days. It dawned on me that Jasper will be starting preschool in a few weeks so we need to get down to business. I haven’t been in much of a hurry because… Read More
