The other day I wrote about the challenges of raising girls and their associated drama. Someone left this comment in response to that post on the facebook page about Number 4: …Where does number 4 come up with this stuff? I know it would drive any parent crazy, but she’s good.

Your Daily Dose
In The Blink Of An Eye
Sometimes I can’t wait for the kids to grow out of certain phases. Like the highchair phase. I’ve had a highchair in my kitchen for 7 years straight. I threw the seat cover away about 1 1/2 kids ago; it had turned into more of a petri dish than a cover. Rather than keeping it […]
