There is a reason I start my day like this. Ah, having toddlers. When the world reminds you that even dumping the laundry basket into the washing machine is no longer a luxury you have in life, evident by the dinosaur that I discovered in my daughter’s hamper tonight. At least, I now know to […]
Ahhh, the sweet smell of 2. In the first 12 hours of being 2 years old, my daughter Lo tried to eat my razor (which I hide behind shampoo bottles that apparently she can now reach-luckily no damage to the child…), and covered herself in poo. I get carried away for my kids birthdays….on purpose. […]
