The buzz for Disney/Pixar’s Inside Out is growing the closer we get to the release date. I have a feeling this one will resonate with kids and adults alike and we can all blame those crazy creatures in our heads for our mood swings. Do your jobs tiny people in our heads!!! So I […]
Currently, I have managed to kill BOTH vacuums that we own. Both are dead, meaning that the drifts of dog and cat fur grow ever larger as I look on in despair. Swiffers get used A LOT in this house. I love that they are kid friendly and they do a great job battling the […]
