admin October 15, 2019 No Comments

I almost beat my husband at Toy Story Mania yesterday. ALMOST. Toy Story Mania is a fun arcade-style shooting game. I always lose to my husband. ALWAYS. Yesterday when we played, I started out very strong. Surprisingly, I was winning after the first three rounds. I felt confident. No, he was not “letting me win” […]

Thank you, Laura. Are you like Laura? Yesterday when I went to pick up my child at school, she was not at her usual spot. I scanned my eyes over the crowd of children. I could not see my child. In my mind, I said, “Where is she?” Soon, I started saying it aloud. Laura […]

When I heard that Disney was bringing Snow White her own character meal, I had to book it for my five-year-old daughter. Gianna has been devoted to Snow White since she was two. She watched the movie on repeat until she was about five. Gianna would tell anyone that would listen all about Snow White. […]

I lied to my daughter recently. As parents, we tell white lies to our children frequently. For instance, when your child has had enough cookies but asked for more, you’ll say, “No we don’t have any more cookies,” knowing there are more cookies hidden behind that cereal that no one’s eating. On this particular day, […]
