After watering the garden this morning I snapped a few pictures of some of the vegetables we have growing in our backyard. Out of everything we have planted right now, I think I’m the most excited about finally having zucchini again. We had to plant zucchini seeds like 5 times this year because of all Read More >>

Laundry. It’s one of those chores that is never-ending in our house. The second I throw the last load of laundry into the wash, I usually come around the corner to find a pair of Monkey Boy’s socks hiding under the coffee table. They are there to mock me, I am sure of it. I Read More >>
