Captain Fussybuckets has been to the dentist each year since he turned one. He has always been a good dental patient, sitting in the chair nicely for the teeth cleaning and check-up, and has always received a good report. Well, we took him to a new dentist (actually, this is the fourth dentist he’s been …
I love a good garage sale and I LOVE finding an awesome deal at a garage sale. Last summer, we scored an awesome double stroller for $25. It’s awesome and we’ve used it a lot, but I failed to notice that it didn’t have a front canopy and it should have. It was possible stowed …
This past weekend, we were able to go visit my family in a whirlwind trip across Texas. We were able to eat at our old favorite restaurant, visit my grandmother and parents, attend our niece’s 4th birthday party, go to church with my brother, sister-in-law, and niece, and spend some good time with our family. …
