We are quite lucky that when we bought our SUV, it came with "Free Lifetime Car Washes" at the dealer. Not that this was the bribe that closed the deal, but if you're like me and don't particularly get around to washing your car often enough, then this perk was perfect.

When Molly is not sleeping, she is having tea parties, riding unicorns, playing with her dogs, visiting her friends who speak with English accents, or creating great works of art (using markers). In fact, she is so spoiled that she's even allowed to wear (permanent) make-up at a (supposedly) tender age of 1. And she has her own teddy bear. Molly is ...continue reading
Dear Berry Bites, You are a toddler through and through. To you, anything can become a wonderful toy. My case in point: unopened soymilk cartons. Just watch. I hope you never lose your imagination. Just....um...please don't spill the milk. Spilt milk (or anything liquid) is a pet peeve of mine. Otherwise, play on... ...continue reading
