I’m no parenting expert, but one thing I can tell you is to only feed your kids rice on the day you plan to vacuum.

90% of summer is spent applying sunscreen to your kids and the other 10% is spent helping them get said sunscreen out of their eye after you told them not to touch it.

One of the best parts of having kids is, comparatively, I actually make a VERY good drawing of a horse.

I wasn’t even aware my husband was in the house and I sat down and began reading a story about kitties to my toddler. Immediately and out of nowhere I hear yelling, “What about titties?!”

I thought it would be cute to teach my toddler my first name. Now that he wakes me by screaming it in my face I can admit how very wrong I was.
