Babies, Crosses and Sprinklers

The day started off like any other Wednesday driving to school.

And here some of the gazillion reasons why…

Those are clip-on earrings in the photo.  If you ask me, they don’t seem that comfortable and are leaving lasting red spots on her cute little lobes come the end of the day.

She begged to get them pierced right before Kindergarten started, but to me that was a firm…

Looking for Contributing OC Writers

I am looking for contributing OC writers to write posts on a regular basis ~ could that be you?

And when I say “writer,” an English degree is not required. Neither is prior experience.  I am looking for local moms with a passion for sharing finds with friends.
