Sweeping Up Joy was such a good outlet and hobby. Unfortunately it never ended up being much of an income generator, so I have decided to cancel my hosting and call it quits. Before I go I will drop this here. And leave. This is our Thomas, who was born in August. We continue to […]

Seven Quick Takes 1. An Addition to ERA Preschool I’ve posted before that Moe’s only school goal for the year is to avoid the emergency room. Aside from that, anything goes. But this week he started asking to do school “with paper” like the older girls. So we started. I don’t really care if […]
