It has been a looooong time since I've done one of these. This time it was Olivia's turn. I did plenty of tea parties for Emma, but Olivia has never had one of her own... until today. I pulled out all the tea party decorations! Throwback tea party photos. Look

tooth fairy?

Every one of Emma's adult bottom teeth have come in behind her baby tooth. This one was no different. Usually it doesn't take long for her tooth to get loose once the new tooth starts coming in, but this one is all the way in and her tooth still wasn't

I feel bad saying it... but man... I have never wanted foster kittens to get adopted as badly as I wanted these two to find a home. Even the girls are over their shenanigans. I already told Braden if for some reason either one of them gets returned (which does

hershey and oreo

Have I mentioned we have foster kittens....? We got them right after Thanksgiving. These were pictures of them when we got them in November. They were 8 weeks old and tiny. I was pretty positive as soon as I saw them that they both had ringworm. My worst nightmare with

lots of snakes

The girls didn't have school on Friday. A few days ago I saw that the place with the YouTube channel where Emma got her snake was going to be doing a program at our library. So... of course we had to be there! He brought a lot of animals we
