Two years ago today this little girl was welcomed into the world.Look at that beautiful baby! Such an amazing little girl. She had, and still has, her moments where she was infuriating. But mostly, she is my precious little girl.It's hard to believe that she was ever that small. Look at her now!It is very obvious she is two. She loves to say "no," run away, and cause mass destruction. But she is also so loving and caring. Last week when I was so sick, she would take me by the hand and tell me, … [Read more...]

Tired Mama
I have been trying for days to think of my next post. And I've been drawing a blank.I don't currently have any frugal tips. Nothing interesting I have been thinking about.
