Today I am thankful for free stuff…..especially food!! I was in Target today with the boys perusing the dollar section for items that N8’s preschool is collecting to send off to less fortunate kids for Christmas, when a friendly Target employee stopped me and asked if I’d like a sample.…

The cookie baking activity was literally an all day event here today. After having our usual every-other-Friday playgroup over at our place on this rainy morning, I was exhausted but I had already promised Nathan we’d bake cookies. William was feeling a little under the weather so it was difficult…
