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… Continue reading Remotes, Fans, and Baby Doll Head

Q saw Santa for the first time this weekend and we are planning to take their picture together soon. To begin with, we had to point Santa… Continue reading Holiday Traditions

Planning and preparing a meal(s), setting up decorations, baking, and attending programs and parties. It can be traumatic and taxing, especially for… Continue reading Holiday Kindness
