Yesterday, I made the first batch, with a lemon glaze, and after I poured the glaze all over, I offered them to my children and both of them said, “well we don’t really like the taste of lemon very much,” and refused to take more than a small bite. My heart was crushed, but I thought […]

Did you see the unicorn owl in amongst all the stuffies? Our children decided to treat us to a costume dance party tonight, complete with flashlight lighting and music recorded off the stereo on my daughter’s LeapPad.
