“A person’s a person, no matter how small.” Dr. Seuss I bet the the title of this post made you think, which I admit it is supposed to, but not in the obvious way. The protection that came to mind this time corned my three boys. As parents, on top of feeding, clothing, and […]

Unexpected Toddler Thoughts
With the second month of social distancing firmly enacted, the month of May is already proving to be a difficult one, and it has only been a couple of days. Though we are inundated with information concerning the novel coronavirus all day, every day, my husband and I tend to bring our focus more […]
The Triple Bunk
The Boxes The Triple Bunk Bed. Not long ago, I didn’t know such a thing even existed. It never crossed my wildest dreams that someone would come up with such a contraption. But a friend pointed me in the right direction, and boy was I surprised! I’d found so many different kinds, in so […]
