Lunch in a Fort
The kids colored a box that arrived on our doorstep and then begged to have lunch in it. So, I let them. By the way, this is what our diapers and wipes are delivered in. I fully expect to be rich once everyone is potty trained. “A box without hinges,...

The world, things, stories are so interesting and so much of it can be found online. I think Andy is tired of me saying, several times every night, “Hey, look at this!” and shoving my laptop in his face. So, with a nod to A Cup of Jo, I’m going to start...
