It’s a Good Morning All Around

March 30, 2009 By Victoria 2 Comments

You know what’s a great way to start a day? First, take a baby that has been blissfully sleeping through the night for the past week and allow them to wake you up every two hours. Said baby is not content at just seeing you enter her room but instead glares at you, flails her [...]

October 5, 2007 By Victoria 4 Comments

Dear Micheal’s Craft Store, Or should I be calling you Crafty store? You suck me in each time with the power to persuade me that I really can bake a four tiered cake with sugared flowers and fondant decor. All done by me and my masterful hand. Ha! Your masterful hand. Like a Puppet Master [...]
