Words are Categorical series[I’m not sure where I first saw this series recommended, so my apologies for not being able to give the proper credit where it is due.] You’ve bought the Schoolhouse Rock video for your kids, and they can sing along with classics like “Conjunction Junction” and “A Noun’s a Person, Place, or … [Read more…]
When your son comes up with THIS as a valid outfit choice. [no joke. My son wanted to go outside at 7:30 am. My husband warned him that it was still a little bit chilly outside. Christopher came out with THIS OUTFIT a few minutes later, waddling down the hall — as best as he … [Read more…]
