It’s presents for you Mama. They’re for you, Mama” Apparently Ava learned to read on the way home from Fudruckers, because [...]

Wow, nice work on the photo titles. This judging thing is going to be a lot harder than I anticipated. You are a creative bunch! And there is even a bona fide Kristi-pun in the mix not to mention the pressure of Jennifer’s “need” to win. What is the mama to do? Hopefully I will [...]

Ah you guys are great. Thanks for humoring me and my counting game. So the first time I counted the candy, I counted 99. If I hadn’t found four suckers stuck in the interior knitting of the bag, Yvette would have been spot on. Lucky for late-comer Kieran and lollipop-craver Ava, I did find the [...]
