G's 3rd birthday is only two months away. The closer I get to the date, the more I want to elongate the time that's left of the second year. I have spent this past long weekend thinking back on the year it has been. I am happy to report that age two was not as hard... Continue Reading →

5 Things I No Longer Buy
Before I get all preachy, here is a little disclaimer. I am not totally immune to consumerism.
