Ok this is pretty silly but I just wanted to share it with you guys:)! The other day, the kids and I were hanging out doing a bunch of different things, trying to quickly get the day started, when my 2yr old took a long look at my behind and suddenly announced: “That’s a really [...]

Tatu Yod…Ees!
Some time ago, I was getting the kids ready for bed … we were all happy but were also pretty tired after what had been a very long Saturday of playing very hard for most of the day. We were running very late for bedtime, so after brushing their teeth and getting their pjs on, [...]
