I love carving pumpkins. It’s a thing we do. However, every year I struggle to figure out what I should do with my used pumpkins after Halloween ends. We’ve cooked with them, but that’s so much work. We’ve just thrown them out, but I feel bad about wasting them. This year, we’re taking them […]

This kid makes me smile. Seriously. Even when he’s upset or having a “bad day” I can’t help but smile. He’s so damn cute. Abigail often says “Life’s so hard when you’re a baby” when he’s grumpy. I mean really, how bad can it be for a baby who’s healthy and always has one or […]
