For playgroup this last week we went to the Pumpkin Farm. Sophie was much more comfortable with the bean pot this time and, except for pushing her friend Ethan over 2 times (sorry Tara), was decently nice to the other kids! I forgot my camera in the rush from work, so my friend Janelle was [...]

Every year that I have lived here I have spent time at the Clayton Valley Pumpkin Farm (if you visit them, here, you can see Sophie on their October page), the first few years Jeff and I worked there for extra spending money, and then, last year we had to take Sophie. This year, again [...]

Sophie found my stash of paper goods, I was kind of upset that Jeff let her play with them, but then the fun lasted for at least an hour. Seriously, my kid walked back and forth doling out silverware and plates and then taking them back for a LONG time, in toddler time (and mommy [...]

A little reminder that you have until Saturday to leave a comment for my giveaway.
Here is a funny picture of my baby in her baby’s stroller, holding her baby (Pig)! Did you get that? I don’t know why she has taken to sitting in her baby’s stroller, but it is one of her favorite places [...]
