DIY Masquerade Mask

The wonderful thing about being an adult at Halloween is that you can make minimal effort in terms of getting in costume, yet still count as being in costume.  Throw on some borrowed scrubs, hey, you’re a doctor!  Wear a pair of glasses and a pocket protector, instant geek!  Sunscreen and a Hawaiian shirt?  Say […]

The 3rd Child

“You don’t have a baby book for me mom?!?” It’s true what they say about third children; they do sort of get the short end of the stick.  With Hayden, he does have the fact that he’s our last child on his side, so we do fall on his every coo and cry.  But as […]
