I’m so sorry it’s been so long since I’ve blogged! Usually, I try to post at least once– I even have a backlist bump saved for this week (which I will put up in a couple of days, promise!)   But not this time. There are no words to express the size of this venue…. Read More

* So, Friday and Saturday were Avengers Swag Assemble– or mostly my friend Berry Jello and I, putting together gift bags which will pack SO WELL in the back of the minivan.

Chicken plays while I go shoppingfor Squishie at Target. Okay, so April 1st isn’t always my favorite. Because besides Squishie’s due date, I’d never had an April Fools joke I’d been really excited about. My older son loves them, and my husband wishes he was better at them, but, as Kaje Harper said earlier today,… Read More
