I wasn’t planning on doing anything special for St. Patrick’s Day today, but woke up with some unusual Saturday motivation. This motivation is especially surprising because I’ve been sick all week. I’m pretty sure I have bronchitis, but don’t really want to go wait at the doctor’s office and have them confirm it and also…
The Tooth Fairy
My kids are at the age that they are losing teeth. My 7-year-old daughter has lost a handful of teeth, but my 5-year-old son hadn’t lost any – until this week. It kind of freaks me out that my kids are already losing teeth. For me, having my kids lose their teeth is a definite…
