I’ve been referring to myself as a mom more often now, but since no one around here can actually call me “Mom” yet, I have to remind myself that Mother’s Day is for me too. Instead I spent my energy sending cards to all the special ladies in… Read More Mother’s Day Is For Me?
Kind of. Egg hunts are a bit ambitious for a one year old. I had about 25 eggs with a couple jelly beans in each. After lunch we went to the park with friends, and I spread the eggs out on the Arizona grass. Silas went for them at first, promptly opened them and ate… Read More First Easter Egg Hunt
