Brian is off watching the Hobbit while I watch our girls. He’s been so anxious to see it, so I’m happy for him 🙂 I get my turn next week when I go out for sushi and cocktails and he stays home to entertain the little ones! Last night Freya really wanted to watch Star […]

Have to remember to wear earrings so my holes don’t close up. I wear studs because Audrey can’t grab them. There was a period in the 90s when for several years I did not wear earrings at all. I am not sure what the deal was. I guess I just didn’t own any. My jewelry […]
