Highlights from last evening include: 3-year-old Angela getting frustrated that we made her leave the house with an empty pumpkin.

Ten Years Ago Today: Part II
Ten years ago today I was lamenting the fact that I’d worn a dress that buttons down the back to my 9-day-old baby’s baptism.What kind of crazy, nursing momma wears a dress that buttons down the back? To a formal event? Followed by a reception at your mother-in-law’s?!A clueless nursing newbie, that’s who.Oh honey, you have taught me so much about … [Read more...]
