I signed Alex up for the city’s recreational soccer league this fall. He’s getting to the age where I want him to find something that he loves and enjoys that is uniquely his so we’ve been trying different activities.

They got such a good reaction that I wanted to make the rest and do it right and make them out of fleece. Of course, we definitely needed...

I have to put the year on this since I’m not posting until… check the date… the end of July! Yikes! We’re on ‘vacation’ right now and I’m trying to get caught up on the blog. Sooo…. what do you do Christmas Eve? We like to opening Christmas Eve pajamas. My family always did that and my mom said that it was so that we...
