Traveling Tips For Kids
Normally, we travel a lot for the holidays. We drive to Iowa and spend Thanksgiving and Christmas with grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins! It is always the best!

Christmas Bucket List
*sighs and wishes that the TV would malfunction* There are only so many Wild Kratt episodes you can watch before you get sick of having the same basic plot over and over again.

November 30th, 2018. I sat at my computer wondering WHY I was even thinking of starting a blog!

Babysitting Disaster (AOAWFF)
“Mom, no!” Mark wailed, flinging himself down on the couch in fake horror. “It’s not that bad, Mark.” Mary said, quietly smoothing her dress. “You’ll have fun.” Mark’s eyes disagreed. “Fun?

Coffee Conversations
I'm sitting here with a cup of very hot cream-less coffee, contemplating the meaning of life. Or not.

A Chapter From Nay-Nay

I Don’t Believe In Celebrating Halloween
Skeletons and blood are cool. You can’t live without either. But ghosts, witches, and other dark things? Yeah, I’ll survive just fine without them.

It’s Okay To Grieve
For the longest time, I tried to make everyone around me happy. It made me uncomfortable and nervous when people were sad and I tried to force them to be happy. Obviously, that never worked.
