Rugrats

I’m over it. One of my most favorite things to do is dine out. But I’m over it. I no longer want to dine out with my children, it’s not worth it. It’s funny how you go in cycles. For awhile Drew was impossible to take to restaurants and now he has become easy. He will color, space out to […]

Oh winter break, how our love affair is over. I spent so much of my life loving winter break. Who doesn’t love time off of school. When you have kids, however, its a whole new ballgame. Without school to structure our days and the insane crowds at every kid friendly location, I could go crazy keeping these rugrats occupied. Of […]
