Monday, April 26th Get a free pretzel at Philly Soft Pretzel Factory in Clifton Park to celebrate National Pretzel Day (you know, before you go to your special pretzel party and exchange gifts and all. Hey, … [Read more…]
Hey! I’m having a splendid day! Check out this weather, you guys! Awesome! I woke up and noticed that my five-year-old had once again made her own bed and tidied up her room. Then I walked downstairs to find the two girls cuddling and giggling together on the couch. And then I laughed out loud … [Read more…]

Perhaps you all think that I’ve been Slacky-McSlackster because it has been the longest stretch ever that I’ve gone without a post. Au contraire! I am systematically going through all of those links I put together to try to get on everyone’s email lists and RSS feeds to serve you better! And it all takes … [Read more…]
