Lessons in Motherhood

I don’t think it’s possible to follow-up the cake saga with anything more compelling. I mean what on Earth could be more fun than hearing all about Luke’s trials and tribulations in the kitchen? Maybe if I took a picture of him right now passed out sitting up with his hand on his…iPad. [...]

Well, it’s over. We are diaper-free (during the day). I honestly can’t tell you why we are done. I had no grand plan that we would be done on this date. Sophia just decided that she was potty trained. So, now she’s potty trained. I mean what the hell. [...]
