Clean socks are a privilege, not a right
This August has been filled with many day trips thanks to our Ford Experience . It is also filled with the specter of the dreaded SCHOOL DAYS looming ahead (yay!). Mountain Baby Store is filled with solutions for both. They have a great supply of water bottles, backpacks, lunch kits and more. I have […]
I haven’t. Not in a while anyway. Our car before the Chrysler was a Ford Focus Wagon. We bought that due to it working well for a growing family (1 to 2), and was a quick buy after my husbands dear and beloved Honda Civic was trashed while I was the driver. Granted THAT wasn’t […]

You may have seen my amazed post on Twitter when the husband brought home an iPad. The kids are in heaven. The other day, the boys were playing on the Xbox downstairs. I think Tara had my iPhone. I was laying on the bed with Xoom tablet and Caity was laying next to […]
