Little Q is a mess. A hilarious, goofy, little mess! If I could capture pictures or videos of everything he does, we’d be rich.

Last night I opened a game on my phone since my husband and I barely had … Continue reading Remotes, Fans, and Baby Doll Head

To begin with, we had to point Santa out to him and the look on his face was … Continue reading Holiday Traditions
