Lessons in Motherhood

Here’s an update on the allowance situation…we are who you thought we were! Yeah…it’s true. I’m hoarding my cash like a Monopoly player on the verge of Bankruptcy. Thanks, Kat, for reminding me of my genius Monopoly strategy. You can ask my Grandfather about that. He will verify that I [...]
