Link up here if you're playing along with Kailani today! My question for you this week is: Do you wish upon stars, wishbones, fountains...? I do. I don't really consider myself superstitious or anything, but it's fun to go after... Read more →

Our November trip to South Carolina was gobs better than the fateful Tennessee trip a week earlier. This time, it was just the kids and me, and I liked it that way just fine. I would have preferred it if... Read more →

The first thing we did after arriving in Richmond ayer por la tarde was have lunch. Exciting, I know. I'd brought bread, peanut butter, Nutella - and the all-important knife, which I am wont to forget - and let the... Read more →
