Life Is Good #95
The twins are 5 years old and were asked to answer these questions about me in preparation for their Mother’s Day Tea at preschool.

Take A Day Off
For the past 3 years my hubby and I have been trying to go snowboarding/skiing together for a day. Just 1 day. Alone. With no kids! Finally, Thursday, we decided to take a day off and escape to the mountains. Play hooky if you will. The 2 older kids were at school all day (can you say free childcare?) and … Continue reading
