When You Care Enough To Send the Very Best, But Don’t Have the Time or Money
I used to send birthday cards to everyone. Cousins, uncles, aunts, friends, etc. That was before I had four kids. I started tappering off the card sending to the third cousins a couple of years ago. It’s not that I didn’t want to, I just couldn’t keep up and to tell you the truth trying…

Been There. Seen That!
I’ve seen this little map plastered on just about everyone’s blog so I’d thought I’d join in. Now I haven’t stayed in all of these states, but I have driven through all of the ones in red. Does’t that count? In my book it does. Looks like I know where I need to go for…
The Way They Play
