I made it home and it was a successful trip! We got two negatives on my son’s allergy skin testing (eggs and wheat!) which is huge but we do have to wait on the blood test results before we get our hopes up too high. Still we’ve never been in this position before so as [...]
My friend Sandy over at Reluctant Entertainer has started off our keepsake/picture month talking about how she organizes her kid’s keepsakes into binders.

So I have a confession to make and I’ll only tell you if you promise not to tell my mother. It’s a biggie. Are you ready? Here goes: I didn’t file one time last year! Not once. My mom will be horrified but we aren’t telling her so it will be fine. Except she reads [...]
