Carlito Math House Games Review

There are some things I excel out…. math isn’t one of them! Even simple calculating is difficult for me so I stick with my trusty calculator. One of my fears as the boys get older is helping with math homework. The last thing I want is for my kids (who are in grade school) be […]

“Mommy, These are my Boobies!!”

by Jennie August 5, 2011

O.k. so I was ready to kill the hubs when I am giving Cody a bath and he points to his chest and says, “Mommy, these are my boobies”! I was completely thrown! WHAT?! Cody was actually pointing to his nipples so I said “No honey, those are your nipples”. That was that. When the […]
