Well whaddayaknow – today is the first day of school! How on earth did the summer fly by so fast?! So today (Tuesday) Little Dude starts 5th grade. And of course since I’m writing this to go live the night before (Monday night, in case you need to be reminded what time it is…heh!) I…
Just over halfway through February – how’s your year going so far? For those anxiously awaiting the arrival of spring, it’s just around the corner!

Princess Nagger is especially happy that it’s still full-on summer here. I’m very glad the kids don’t start school until September, instead of…
