I said I would never get a dog. "I've cleaned up enough poop to last me a lifetime" was my mantra. And I kinda like my shoe collection without chew marks thank you very much. Nope, we're just not "dog people". And then we met Roxy. Truman and I decided Read More...

It’s down right freezing out there today. Some of us have our older kids home from school, and some of us just need to keep our preschool kids happy and entertained inside where it’s warm. So I thought I’d share a few unplugged, kid tested activities Read More...
